Do people living here also get surrounded by kids?

For those living outside Manila, are you still getting scammed by local kids? I went to a mall to get my phone repaired and got ambushed by a bunch of super curious little giants. lol

Lol that reminds me of my boyfriend. When we first went to Manila and Cebu, he got really awkward because everyone in Cebu kept staring at us. Then suddenly a group of kids came up and greeted us with "Hello, my friend!" After that he started insisting he's a local Filipino. LOL 😆 And last night at 7-Eleven, a Black guy was standing in line minding his own business when a couple of innocent kids suddenly called out "LeBron!"

Yes, most of them are beggars, though not always. I took the time to find out their situation with the kids, and many of them don't have enough to eat. A free school meal program is being prepared. I'm not sure it will happen, but these kids need to eat.

They always shout "Gangsta~!" at me. It always reminds me that kids are way braver and more curious than adults! I like it!
