"Child labor” is often described as work that is dangerous to physical and mental health,

as well as work that deprives children of their youth, future, and dignity. Hazardous child labor,
also known as hazardous work, is described as work that has the potential to affect the health,
security, or morality of children, either directly or by the circumstances under which it is
performed.
There are many cases of child labour here in the Philippines, exposing their child on a
cruel world or an unhealthy environment in an early age. Those children will grow up thinking
its normal to do those kinds of things, even its bad or against the law. Through this it might
affect their thinking and decision making. But for the children in the video, their parents didn’t
abandoned their child to find livelihood on their own. They were well taken care of, like the two
boys helping their mother to earn money by selling plastics in the market whenever they don’t
have classes. The money that they’ll earn will be used to buy viand and rice afterwards. The
second child volunteered herself to work or help her grandmother, in exchange her grandmother
buys her clothes and give her pocket money when going to school. She knows how difficult it
can be for them because her father has already deceased and her mother is the sole provider for
their needs. She understands how complicated her mother's situation is.
Not all work for children should be classified as child labour in order to be removed.
Children's or young people's involvement in work that does not affect their health, personal
development, or schooling is normally seen as something positive. This involve supporting their
parents at home, helping their family, or earning pocket money outside school hours and over
school holidays. This type of activity contributes to the growth and health of children in their
families. It provides skills and experience, and helps train them for their active adult life in
society.
