Thanks for all your input. This is just the start and I do intend to do intensive research for this. my story might not take place in slums after all. The family is poor now but they had seen better days. Their father walked out on them after their mother got cancer and went through surgery and all. They lost the house becuase they couldn't pay the installments and so ended up going through some really bad situation, things that made them take drastic steps in order to alter their situation. So it's possible that they aren't living in slums but in a poor low-rent housing. I'm just in the process of figuring everything out and that can only be done if i can get enough information. I'l be talking to Filipinos and all that. May even take a trip to the philipines but i need to get all the information i can get at this stage so that i have something. I thought there might be some Filipinos here or someone could talk to their maid.

I hope i can meet some Filipinos here to provide some insight into life in Philipines in general and life of poverty / slum life in particular. are slums really bad? my character's father walks out on them and they are thrown out of their home, the bank taking it when they default on the payments. with minimal income from temporary jobs they must find another cheaper place to live. is it likely they'll go into slums? or is that only for those who were always living in slums?

I saw in the metro magazine that there's a cat adoption event on Aug. 17 (in two days) where you can adopt cats. I think it's arranged by feline friends. you might want to go there to find cats for adoption. That's wonderful. Could you please tell me where is it going to be? Adopt a Cat Day - Aug. 17, 1 PM - 4 PM The veterinary hospital, street 8, al quoz 1 hosted by feline friends
