Philippine Slum

[FeelDaShot]

I found the below video of a guy walking through one of the worst slums in the Philippines. Super interesting to see how these people live.

But right around the 2:40 minute mark I find a couple pool hustlers and a table lol. God I love this game haha.

No more excuses to not get a table.

There's a video of Alex P doing some practice what looks like an enclosed outdoor area of a house with a rooster squawking away outside lol

If you peruse the action videos from the Philippines, you'll hear the same mopeds, jeepneys, and roosters. lol...

Thank god it looks like they're using a Diamond, the thought of those poor people having to play on a "furniture table" would have broken my heart...

They are the most happiest, singing-est people I have ever seen.
I’ve walked the streets of Manila and the outlying areas and even with nothing, they smile.

I've watched all kinds of YouTube videos of pool games in open areas with just a roof over them and chickens running around.

They'd stash sports cars before they'd drag a pool table there.
