This Orphanage located in Pampanga, a 1 1/2 hour car ride  from Metro Manila.   The Province of Pampanga is known as the former site of the American Air Force Base  in the Pacific, Clark Field in Angeles, Pampanga.

Children in all orphanages have similarities.  The deprivation of love and attention by a parent.  While the mentally disabled children may not know pain and suffering, since they have a world of their own, the normal ones live in confusion and uncertainty.

30% of the Orphans in this Center are Mentally handicapped. 

The Department of Social Welfare and Department (DSWD)  supervises this institution and with the usual sad story of lack of funding , under staffed, lack of beds, mattresses, pillows, blankets, linen, diapers,  food and milk. Washing Machines are overused since children , especially the mentally handicapped children, defecate and urinate without any control.  Diapers are in short supply.   Budget is not enough as there  are  too many children in the Center. 

 

 

 

The Center does not refuse children,  especially if they are abandoned and mentally handicapped .  The policy of the Head Social Worker is that the  abandoned children must not stay in the streets and that  they will provide a roof over their heads  and  food in their stomachs. 

Some of the male children sleep in cottages with wooden beds, without pillows and blankets, and without electric fans.
Food  and milk is insufficient.  Children are thin and lack proper nutrition

Aside from the meager government budget, the Center relies on Good Samaritans to help maintain the Center. 

Some of the Children, especially the Ameriasians are adopted, while the mentally disabled live the rest their lives in the Cottages until they die.
