BADjao

Badjao is one of our treasured cultures in the country but why are
they making such a fuzz right now?
They are known as sea gypsies of the Mindanao but why are they
in Manila begging for alms,then selling stuffs like expensive
pre-packed candies and yet harassing people for alms. Some
of them spit on you,hurting you or taking some of your stuff(if you carry lots of things). Why are Gov't officials taking this case?
is there a big syndicate behind this treasured people? They taint
there roots so that they can gain lots of money?
I've seen kuligligs that transport many badjao kids to beg
in the Manila area specifically in Morayta quite a few times.
Unlike the common things that i've experienced such as baliw,
kids that clean your feet with a dirty rag(and i'm wearing slippers).
Badjao here are very aggressive, i've experienced a mother and child.
The mother was playing a hand drum(made of Pipes and they are quite
consistent on how it's made,i saw in Alabang, Paranque, Manila, and Pasay)
and the kid was distributing the envelope. One passenger refused the envelope
and returned to the kid nicely but the kid got aggressive. She threw the envelope
to the passenger again. Then same thing,the women returned in but the kid
returned it in a very bad manner. The kid forcefully put the envelope on the
passengers chest and threatened the person. So are they begging for alms?
or they didn't hit their quota yet. Another story is that they sell
candies that are packed for 50 pesos,not only that they force you, hold you on
your clothes and use a bad language to sell thier stuff.
Some badjaos even have brgy. I.D.'s so that they wouldn't be caught but they
really don't know where it is. So what's the real deal about them?
i respect their culture and the authorities should take this seriously(suntok sa buwan siguro).Don't let them get tainted and to be used by bad people..
