...maybe child exploitation?
First I should say that I am not against child actors, as long as
they do this job in the time they are free of school. A good education
is the best a child can get. Big money from a young acting career is not
as good as a decent education.
And this is where this post is about.

The Philippines has many child actors, performing in series, soaps
and daily tv-shows. Knowing how much time it cost to shoot a film or a
soap, or even performing in a daily tv noon show, I wonder if these
children have a proper education.
To make things worse, child talents are poorly developed and
injudiciously handled. They’re made to work too long, cry too much,
perform in a fake and knee-jerk fashion, are thrust into the potentially
harmful company of jaded adults, and are exploited even by their own
families, some of whom persuade or even force them to be their clans’
breadwinners.
