TThousands of children in the Philippines live where everyone can see them — on sidewalks, under bridges, in jeepney terminals — yet the system barely knows they exist. In this episode, Bahay Tuluyan, a child-rights organization that has worked with street-involved children for nearly four decades, talks about what it really means to be visible but invisible: documented nowhere, excluded from school and health services, and often at risk of abuse and exploitation. Executive Director Catherine Scerri joins Hannah Grace to share stories from the streets, explain why informal care and lack of documentation make children disappear from government systems, and discuss how long-term solutions like affordable housing, family reintegration, and education access can break the cycle.
