Like most major cities, Manila is a hodge podge mixture of rich and poor. However, after seeing how the poor live in Manila, I'm have to be very thankful that we actually live pretty well in Malaysia, despite having our own struggles and issues.
As you stroll around the city (except for Makati CBD), you find many street kids wondering around looking for scraps to eat. Some of these kids will be exploited as laborers in construction site with very low income and no health and safety benefits.
Still, they find happiness from whatever little things they have.

Kesian jugak tengok diorang. Happy sungguh diorang bila kami tapau makanan kasi diorang. And very polite! Siap ucap thank you lagi!
