Now for the NON-evil side of me:D We always donate, not money, but food, goods and clothing that we purchase ourselves, to the Typhoon victims. And make sure of course that who we hand the stuff over to are legit.![]()
Regarding Phil beggars - there is guy, possibly in his 50's who wanders around Duma, with his hand out asking for money for food, that actually is very well healed. He dresses like a beggar when ''working'' but lives in a very nice house that he owns in a very nice neighborhood. He, I am sure, would not be the only one who does this for a living.
There are also women carrying babies that have their hand out, and the babies are not theirs, they hire them for the day.![]()
