MANILA, PHILIPPINES - JULY 19: A Filipino boy stands in a polluted canal in the slums on July 19, 2005 in Manila, Philippines. Extreme poverty is commonplace in Manila where corruption, unemployment, and overpopulation are very serious problems. According to government statistics, the population of the Philippines is expected to rise to 85.2 million this year with an average of 5,800 babies being born daily. Many are calling for Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to resign since Arroyo has been attacked by an election scandal leaving her political future in turmoil.
