wE ARE AN ADVOCACY PUSHING FOR AWARENESS ON THE ISSUES OF CHILD LABOR IN METRO MANILA. AMONG THE 3.3 MILLION CHILD LABORERS IN OUR COUNTRY, ABOUT 180,000 OF THEM ARE IN METRO MANILA. WE DECIDED TO ADVOCATE FOR THIS AS PEOPLE LIVING IN METRO MANILA, WE HAVE EXPERIENCES OF SEEING CHILDREN ON THE STREET SELLING CANDIES AND THE LIKE. MANY OF THESE CHILDREN ARE FORCED TO WORK BECAUSE OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, LIKE THE NEED TO HELP THEIR PARENTS WORK AND EARN MONEY. IT'S AS, ALMOST 95% OF CHILDREN AGED 5-17 YEARS OLD WORK IN SAID CONDITIONS. WE DECIDED THAT WITH THE MANY ADVANCEMENTS AND CONVENIENCES OF TECHNOLOGY, WE MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN SOME OF THESE CHILDREN. HAVING EXPERIENCED CHILDHOOD OURSELVES, WE DON'T BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT THAT ANY CHILD WOULD BE DEPRIVED OF A PROPER CHILDHOOD FOR ANY REASON.
