let's see you live ur life like that and tell us how you feel you fuckin douche
Major cities in the country (Cebu is the 2nd most important) usually have this. They weren't put there, nor was the dump site either, but they make a living from there, selling junk. Usually they get around $2 at most in a hard day's work. Sometimes, none at all. Yet it is our sense of belongingness to each other as a family, as friends and as a community that we are able to smile to the camera and say "we can go through this", and I believe they can.
And "yea", you seriously need to go fuck off.
Even if the poorest have access to birth control (which, until 5-10 years ago, was illegal in the Philippines) it costs money, which the poor don't have. The Philippines is a Catholic country (about 96%), so birth control is frowned upon by the church and as most Pilipinos are devoutly religious, they abide by Catholic dogma.
Also, as the comment above noted, Pilipinos are some of the happiest people I have met.
Anyway. xD It just goes to show that nothing is black and white. There are ups and downs to every life situation. So sympathize and work to help their situation, but don't pity. They might be happier and richer than you are. xP
