The Rotary Club created the Bahay Bata Center in Angeles City, Pampanga to provide a home, education and a future for the street children of the area.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the then President of the Philippines, made a special visit to inaugurate the center on July 25, 2001.
Angeles City, located right next to the former USA Clark Air Base, has, according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development, more than 1,500 children registered in the city as ‘street children’. There may be many more not listed.

Hello Bahay Bata,
I’m contacting you about something very disturbing
& upsetting that I witnessed last Wednesday (Dec.7th).
Whilst walking back to the hotel, in Diamond Subdv.
where I & my asawa were staying, I saw something terrible.
It happened on MacArthur Highway, on the small stretch of
road between the front of Marlim Mansions hotel & Didi’s
Pizza. On that side, just after the bank, there is a small,
recess … possibly the front area of an abandonned/vacant
store. As I passed it I heard a loud “cracking” noise & then
a child screaming. I turned to see a Filipino guy hitting
a small child (girl around 2/3 years old) with what looked
like 2 large bamboo canes. The guy stopped hitting her as
soon as he saw me looking over in horror. It appeared to
be an area where they were living/sleeping, as various bags
& belongings were strewn around the recess. I couldn’t see
any policemen around & so I told a security guard, a little
further along that stretch of road, about what I had just
seen & his reaction was “don’t involve yourself sir” … he
didn’t even seem interested in investigating what I had just
told him. Back at our hotel (Swagman)I told my wife & her
reaction was the same. Horrified, but I guess she didn’t
want me to be involved in anything that could’ve caused us
to miss our following day’s flight home. I hope & pray that,
for the sake of this poor, suffering innocent child, you
will be able to do something about her situation. It may
well be that the heartless culprit is the child’s father,
but NO child deserves to be treated so cruelly.
Over the last 20+ years of us revisitng my wife’s former
homeland I’ve seen a lot of upsetting poverty, but this
incident is the first time that I’ve ever felt so sick to
the stomach & powerless to do anything about it.
We arrived back in the UK yesterday & this morning I saw
a BahayBata ad on my wife’s TFC TV channel. You are probably
the only chance of helping this poor, innocent little girl &
I truly hope that you can intervene … if they are still
“living” in that same recess between Marlim Mansions & Didi’s.
Maraming, maraming Salamat Po for taking the time to read this !
Regards,
A.Barlow
