No lesser evil


FILIPINO child is fortunate enough to be one of the pupils in the classroom.


According to the statistics from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), 5.5 million children are engaged in child labor. The age ranges from five to 17 years old. Child labor has proliferated because the enablers are the parents themselves.


In the mountain barangays of Cotabato and the Cordillera mountains children ages seven to 10 are seen pulling heavy logs down the access road where truck drivers of wealthy illegal loggers will do the loading.
