I’m on a short break from shooting at a dump site in Manila. I know we all see this setting on TV but, until you’re actually here you can not fathom that people live in these conditions.
To see little children – not in school, not playing with toys – but, scavenging for food and for scraps of metal and plastic to sell to the recyclers for a matter of pennies after a full day’s work….wow.
You will see so much more about this when the infomercial airs in January and I will continue to write and send pix in the coming days.
These are some of the happy faces….just happy we are here to help. I’m filled with admiration
KUMUSTA!! DEBORAH ANN GIBSON, WHERE ARE YOU IN MANILA?. I CAN’T FIND YOU HERE.
LOVE YOUR PHOTO WITH FILIPINO CHILDRENS. I HOPE YOU WILL DO A CONCERT HERE
TO HELP OUR LITTLE CHILDRENS IN 2011.
CAN’T WAIT THE INFOMERCIALS AIRS IN JANUARY.
After singapore, you went there to do that humbling act…such a really good lady….i shouldve followed you there after the retrolicious concert! Salamat!
I feel that no child should do with out…..BUT it also annoys me and plain and simple pisses me off that so many celebrities (and no offense to Deborah) are always worried about the children of other countries. There are children in America who go days with out eating and live in a level of poverty that isn’t as bad as you see with other countries but is bad enough. Why is it you never see celebrities campaigning for the children in their own country? It makes me sad as an American that people don’t really pay attention to the issues in their own country. Why is it we are always quick to help everyone else but our own?
I guess it comes down to the fact that people are people everywhere and poverty is poverty everywhere, too. God only knows that there are A LOT of people experiencing hardship here in the U.S. with the New Great Depression, but at least our country (still) has social services, homeless shelters, etc. Many countries do not have ANY sort of safety nets for those in need. Celebrities entertain us by profession, but at least the cameras follow them to the not-so-glamourous places that are not part of their job description and shed light on complete darkness; I don’t think many of us would even dare to go to some of these places at all. Gandhi’s words are my favorite: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Hello Deb! you didn’t BUZZ! us philippine fans that you went there, Hopefully we meet you as to greet and sign autograph’s. People are so lucky there that they meet you. It really sucks ummm… but that is okay i hope that you made a song for helping children in that dump site like “voices that cares” you where in that video i love that song… I will help you give the title “Children of generation (I care)” What you think?
To all philippine fans i emailed SONY MUSIC PHILIPPINES about the new album of Miss vocalist. Please tell all your friends to request and send email to SONY MUSIC PHILIPPINES requesting Deb’s new album miss vocalist. If we reached 100 persons there. We have a chance. I know that Jordan Knight love songs was under AVEX TRAX Japan but Universal Records Philippines get. I can remember that i help promoting the album in every station in the philippines so there is an answer. Hope that all of you help MISS VOCALIST release it here. SPREAD THE WORD!!!
DEB, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO VERY PROUD OF YOU WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO HELP OUT THOSE POOR KIDS IN MANILA.
YOU ARE A VERY BRAVE, STRONG, LOVING, CARING AND GENEROUS PERSON.
HERE IS A SONG THAT I DEDICATE TO YOU FROM MY FAVORITE 80’S AMERICIAN CARTOON ,ENJOY!!!
I WAS SURPRISED SEEING YOUR PHOTO IN MANILA. I REMEMBER DURING MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS WHEN YOU HAVE A CONCERT HERE IN PHILIPPINES AND YOU DONATE FOR THE TYPHOON VICTIMS. I AM GLAD YOU STILL CONTINUE DOING GOOD WORK.
YOU’RE STILL MY NUMBER 1 CRUSH AND I STILL HAVE YOUR PHOTO CUT-OUTS FROM SONGHITS POSTERS AND ARTICLE IN MAGAZINE WHICH I KEPT SINCE I WAS IN MY 1ST YEAR (HIGH SCHOOL).
MY ULTIMATE DREAM IS TO SEE YOU IN PERSON AND WATCH YOU PERFORM. HOPE YOU WILL VISIT THE PHILIPPINES AGAIN AND DO A CONCERT.
I felt very sad, because I dont have a chance to meet you..But Im happy for your mission & love for the children..Hope to see when you come in Philippines..
