    Well, I've never really looked into proxies as thebox usually has everything I want to see. The only exception is the occasional streaming (live) content and some of the trailers/clips on the official websites and YouTube. It would be good to have a proxy for that. Are there any sites that list reliable free ones? I know about the paysites but that would be pointless for all the stuff I'd watch via them.

    it was viewing for me and emma cuddling in bed while watching it
    it did bring tears to my eyes and indeed emma was brought to tears many times , we was poor was her quote but we always had food on our table and i did not know how people lived like that, the world is like that not just the phils, poor parts here too, but work hard they say and you may help yourself, personal its the kids that you have to consider can we afford them and i am afraid many cant , just my opiniun thats all

    Some comparisms.......{ please remember that many people think that cos you might earn 20- 30 pence an hour then a beer is maybe 5 pence and a Jolibee meal maybe 10pence.......Far from it!
    Wages of my Phils friends :
    Shop girl- 150-200 pesos a day.
    Supermarket check out - 150 pesos a day.
    Skilled tradesman { Mindanao} - 300 pesos a day.
    Waiter in province - 150 - a day.
    * Makes ya wonder eh Folks when sipping that "very cheap" San Mig at 30 pesos a bottle, that is 2 hours wages for the locals! Shocking!
    I casually asked my GF a coupla months back as we were eating the normal chicken and rice, "how many times do you eat meat back at home?" Her reply...3 times year!! Christmas, New Years day and her Papas birthday. Makes ya think huh!
    * as many of you know the peso is approx 70 to the £1.

    Couldn't agree more Stevie C!
    Shocking the stance that the church takes there.
    My GF is a staunch Catholic girl and out of respect to her and her family i do not rant too much but i really despise what that religion is doing to the common people there.

    I have said the same many times on here and elswhere the Pope could cut world poverty at a stroke by saying just three words... condoms are ok.... but then within 20 years they will lose their hold on the populace , keep them poor and dumb and they will have FAITH!!!!. to have that power to save millions from poverty and not use it is CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY, just as much as an ethnic cleansing genocide. the programme to its credit did bring the issue of the catholic church up and Josh was a top bloke clearly touched and affected by what he had seen.
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    There are other ways of not having children besides condoms. Bit of self control or physical management would do the same job, but I think they just knock out kids as a hopeful way of providing for themselves in their old age.

    I dont understand the point of the program, started off as light entertainment reality program and then started delving into the shanty town areas. maybe it was muslim funded against the catholic church

    Nice to know they have the same response to traffic lights as over here, speed through on amber

    Good programme but still puzzled as to why they referred to the Jeepney as a bus.

    Thanks to Manila_Paul for that torrent site, some good stuff there

    self control, easier said than done, think about it , its a lifetime of self control needed,not a one off, could you do it from your time of being a young man, bursting with testosterone, what would you suggest ,abstain? oral sex instead, and they cant afford condoms,
    im not a condom user , i want to feel what im doing and enjoy, use one id rather not have sex. im a male, both men and woman prefer sex with no rubber protection, in the view of it being a life time restriction, i dont blame them at all , sex is good

    It is not often I agree with the Catholic Church on anything but I do on population control. Even if for very different reasons. The poverty problem in the Philippines is an economic one. Over half the wealth of the country is exported abroad. What prospect for serious development in that circumstance?

    Since the number of poor outnumber the not so poor by a good number, it gave a good reflection..... the house looked familiar .... although it was a bit of a shock to wake up next to Rayna's brother and realise it wasn't a pillow my hands were between keeping warm

    I really enjoyed this programme, seeing the pagpag was an eye opener although im very aware of the poverty in Phils. I thought they could have shown more the bonds of family and friendship which are so strong there that seems often to be missing in the UK.
    I thought the bus driver guy was a good choice too , he seemed humbled by the hospitality shown to him, much as i felt when i stayed in my Gf's province in Davao oriental.

    Gotta love the girl who says PagPag is sarap: "I could eat other food... but I prefer PagPag". Make you wonder what that other food is that PagPag is nicer in comparison?
