THE ORPHAN CRISIS

The number of orphans in the Philippines is now

estimated to be over 2,000,000! The following four
factors are key to understanding the orphan crisis in
the Philippines. There is not much we can do about
natural disasters, but we are convinced we can
move the needle forward on the other three.
NATURAL DISASTERS
The Philippines is located along the Ring of Fire, or typhoon belt.
Because of this, the country has suffered from a tremendous number of
deadly typhoons, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and other natural
disasters. Annually, approximately 80 typhoons develop above tropical
waters, of which 19 enter the Philippine region and about six to nine
make landfall. The Philippines is named as the country most exposed to
tropical storms in the world. Violent tropical storms, such as the latest
Haiyan typhoon, can generate 10 times as much energy as the Hiroshima
atomic bomb. Such drastic weather destroys homes, villages, and
families. Often the survivors are the children, minus their parents.
Natural disasters often give birth to orphans.
TEEN/PRETEEN PREGNANCY
Teenage pregnancy affects about 6% of Filipino girls. It sounds like
a small number but is the second highest rate in Southeast Asia based
on Save the Children’s Global Childhood Report from 2019. An
estimated 538 babies are born to Filipino teenage mothers EVERY
SINGLE DAY, according to the Philippine Statistical Authority from
2017. This means nearly 200,000 teenagers get pregnant every year.
And to make the situation even worse, there are roughly 40 births
each year by girls who have not yet reached the age of 13. These
young girls are mostly unprepared for motherhood and often have no
place to turn except to give up the baby they just nurtured for nine
months.
LACK OF EDUCATION

• The Philippines’ Department of Education, Culture

and Sports’ mission is to provide quality basic
education that is equitably accessible to all….”
And yet, CNN Philippines reported not too long
ago that six in ten families in 2016 and five in ten
families in 2017 lacked access to basic education.
• There is a huge disparity among different social groups
in educational achievement, as there would be in most
countries. The wealthy have better access to education
than the poor. And since around 25% of the population
live below the poverty line, many Filipinos, while being
literate, find it hard to get ahead in life. – which leads us
to the last condition contributing to the orphan crisis in
the Philippines.
POVERTY
• Widespread corruption in Filipino politics and business prevents
social mobility and growth. Power is concentrated among
influential families and connected individuals, offering the poor
truly little chance to better themselves. The Rural Poverty Portal
reports that half of the poor in the Philippines live in rural areas.
The poorest of the poor are the indigenous, landless laborers,
fishermen, small farmers, mountain folk and women.
Deforestation, depleted fisheries and unproductive farmland are
major problems for these people. Illiteracy and lack of educational
opportunities are also critical issues.
THE PHILIPPINES IMPORTS MUCH OF ITS
RICE. POOR RICE FARMERS CAN’T CATCH A
BREAK.
