Stop Child Abuse Now – Philippines Report

A shocking report on child labour in the Philippines.

Mari-Lou and her two friends are screaming at the top of their voices as they descend down a water chute. Watching them enjoy the ride you’d not guess what they have been through.

A government social worker has treated the girls to a day at an amusement park to help them recover from the trauma of being locked up, beaten, unpaid and sexually abused. Recruited from their peasant village to became maids in Manila, they have been totally exploited by their employment agency.

At a gold mine, Joel makes $8 a day scrabbling in the mud for any gold ore which spills beneath the wheels of endless trucks. In Manila, 13 year old Brian Marsada is locked into a dim warehouse where he bottles bleach. When it is raided by government forces, Brian escapes.

These children are recruited from country villages. Their impoverished families are forced to let their children suffer slave labour. Not that they are aware, initially anyway, of their children’s fate as the crooked recruiters lie about the city
