I was raised in the bay area of California so I've had my share of hard times but being in the Philippines has changed my point of view of what a survivor is. If you were to walk into a mini mart there would be a child trying to sell you flowers. A cab ride can be uncomfortable wen there's a kid knocking on the window asking for money. If your looking at an item at a store there will be someone right by your side ready to take you to the register. My favorite place to be is green hills because of the culture and prices. I don't like that they over charge foreigners but I respect it. The physicality of the PBA translates off of the court because everyone is fighting for survival.
Poor areas may look bad at first sight but if you really look you will see that it has to be a work of art to even be standing. I've stated before that I respect the physicality of the PBA but I respect the physicality of life off of the court even more.
