Some think that working instead is much better than studying but they don't know that finishing studies will bring many opportunities to their lives. Children who practice child labor are often employed on agriculture, factories and mining which are really dangerous and harmful.
Child labor should be focused also by the government. They say that “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” but how could this be happening if almost Filipino children were not sent to school.

The Filipinos should be aware of this child labor that other children are suffering in different places of the Philippines.
