Children learn mendicancy early

Social and political criticisms

In coffee shops and in small restaurants I see a lot of children begging.  As we join others in biking many children lined up the street ask for few pesos.  I interview them and I ask if their parents are dead or alive.  They say they are still alive.  Why then do they beg?

Are we giving them wrong values if we give them money when they beg?  Or are we just following the Christian values to help others who are in need?

What do you think?

Are TV programs handing out big doleouts good?
