0:00:00 > 0:00:03These five kids have more gadgets, toys and clothes
0:00:03 > 0:00:05than they could ever wish for.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07But do they know where their stuff comes from?
0:00:07 > 0:00:12Or how it's made, and what life is like for the workers who produce it?
0:00:12 > 0:00:17Well, we've brought five kids to the other side of the world to find out.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22Today, in the Philippines, the children are pushed to the limit.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24It's really frustrating. I can't do it.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26And they learn about life for those
0:00:26 > 0:00:29who are not working in the factories.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32You do!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33You do.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Last time around,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45the group survived working for the strictest boss so far.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- What will I do with this now? - I'm sorry.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- He really, really tried. - It's not good enough, to be honest.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But away from the factory, they made friends...
0:00:53 > 0:00:57..and discovered that even in Asia, some things are just like home.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00THEY SING: Baby, Baby, Oh!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03But today, the five are about to begin
0:01:03 > 0:01:08what will be the most challenging leg of their trip.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We're on the outskirts of Manila at a technology park,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and it's here that our five will go on to find out
0:01:14 > 0:01:18all the hard work that goes behind making the gadgets they use at home.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Everyone in the group loves their laptops, mobiles and mp3 players,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27so I'm expecting them to really enjoy seeing how they're made.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's relevant to all of us here,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32because, you know, electronics are a major part of our lives.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I really want to see how it works. That'd be cool.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I think out of all the factories we've been to,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40this is going to be, like, the most extraordinary.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And Nathaniel's not wrong.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45The group will be working at EMS,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48a company that makes tiny electronic parts.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And chances are, one of the children owns a gadget
0:01:51 > 0:01:55with a piece in it that came from this very factory.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Amazingly, the factory makes 50 million components every year.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02This is only possible
0:02:02 > 0:02:07because of their highly-trained and efficient workforce.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11During their time here, the kids' work will be overseen
0:02:11 > 0:02:13by head of production, Neddy Abdon.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Hello, good afternoon.- Hello.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Welcome to EMS.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20One of the requirements, of course, is hygiene,
0:02:20 > 0:02:25and there will be no contamination inside our production area.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's crucial that the assembly line is kept spotless.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33This means absolutely no dirt is allowed inside.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Sorted, Nathaniel?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To the clinic now.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- What?- Oh, my gosh!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53This is our production line. We call this the clean room area.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57To be honest, I always imagined it being done by robots.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I never thought it would be like this.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Incredibly, most electronic parts are assembled by hand.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07But employees do need to work as efficiently as machines
0:03:07 > 0:03:09to achieve their targets.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- They're pretty focused. - THEY KNOCK ON THE WINDOW
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, my lord!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- You run a tight ship.- Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21When you are inside the production line, you need to be focused.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So talking and shouting is not allowed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28So I am asking everyone to be serious.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The group's challenge will be to match the disciplined,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33machine-like behaviour of the workers.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37But first, they've got to get onto the production line.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Just follow me. - Starting with a trip to the nurse.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- I hope this goes in my mouth. OK.- Just on the forehead.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- It's OK, it's normal.- Great.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Temperatures are taken
0:03:49 > 0:03:52to make sure no coughs and colds are passed around.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Normal.- Is that good?- Yes.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58It's all part of the factory's drive for a healthy, clean workforce.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Which means you won't see any of Neddy's workers
0:04:00 > 0:04:02sitting around on the floor.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Uh... Could you stand up?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Great(!)
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I don't know how to put this on.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13No garments allowed on the floor, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Next up, the group must put on special decontamination suits.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Inconvenient.- I can't get my hair in the stupid net.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23And that's not all.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Are you wearing make-up?- Yes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Ah... You need to wash your face first.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- We don't allow cosmetics inside production.- No!- No, please!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Have you got make-up on? Honestly?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Any contamination is not allowed, as I've said.- What's the big deal?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Because I'm not allowing any one of you if you don't...
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- I spent ages putting it on.- You look beautiful without it!- No, I don't.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Neddy takes decontamination really seriously.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54If any dirt gets into the production area,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57an entire order could be ruined.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Can you stand up?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00You ready, guys?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05In the car on the way here, we were really up for it,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08we were really excited, we were going to give it our all.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And now we've been lying on the floor
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and moaning about taking our make-up off, moaning about the gear.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Let's just bear in mind that this is what Neddy and her people do
0:05:17 > 0:05:20all the time, every day, it's their job.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Good gang. Let's go.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30All that's left now is to get vacuumed by a powerful air shower,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and the kids' decontamination is complete.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34OK, let's go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38The factory bosses want to see if any in the group can be
0:05:38 > 0:05:41as disciplined and machine-like as the Filipino workers.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I feel like I'm on a spaceship.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48So they've set them a timed task - positioning wires coming off a coil.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51First, you unwind the outer part.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Incredibly, small coils like this
0:05:54 > 0:05:57become an essential part of every computer,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59but only if they're done correctly.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You will unwind it one full turn...
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Making tiny parts like this by hand is a really tough challenge.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06This looks well hard.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Now I will give you one tray.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13So how long would you expect us to complete the tray in?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I can give you half an hour.- Half an hour, Jonas, for the whole tray.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Out there, they can make it in a minute.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Ooh!- The whole tray?- The whole tray.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Yeah.- Oh, thanks(!)
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Hang on a second, so one of your workers
0:06:26 > 0:06:29could do one of these entire trays in one minute, 60 seconds.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yes. Just like one second for a piece.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33One coil per second?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Right, so he's going to give you half an hour,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39so that should be more than enough time, yeah?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Yeah.- Happy bunnies?- Yeah. - Definitely.- Thank you!- Good luck.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53With work like this, it's practice makes perfect.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You're getting faster already.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Thank you.- It's good work.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01The job demands extreme concentration.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03One slip, and the component is spoiled.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I think once you get a technique, it's fine.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10At the start I broke three, but since then, I haven't broken any.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12How are you guys finding it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Um... I'm finding it actually quite relaxing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I disagree. I don't think I have a knack for this.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- It's really fiddly and...- Yeah. - ..really frustrating.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I just can't do it. - They're only here for two days.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Maybe they'll start to take that on board
0:07:29 > 0:07:32and make the most of the experience,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35because this morning that certainly wasn't the case.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38But, actually, they have all started to give it a bit of a go.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We'll have to see.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I think it's phenomenal that workers can do one every second,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- when I can hardly do one every minute.- That's skill, right there.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50At this factory, two things are important -
0:07:50 > 0:07:53meeting targets and behaving.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56With time nearly up, it seems all the group have completed the task.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00But will their good work make up for the earlier grumbling?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02You've done a pretty good job today.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06But from the moment you enter this company, you need to be disciplined.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Jason, if any of your workers had acted
0:08:10 > 0:08:14how our group acted this morning, would they still have a job here?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Honestly?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18We will first demote them into a lower job,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- like cleaning the bathroom. - How does that make you feel, guys?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It just made me feel really stupid for acting how I did in the morning.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Because the thing is, guys, you've done very well,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- so maybe more of this tomorrow. - Definitely.- Definitely.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Um... Me and Neddy, after this morning,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38we will try to decide whether you will be coming back or not tomorrow.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Um... So there is a chance that you and Neddy will decide
0:08:45 > 0:08:47that we can't come back tomorrow?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Is that what you're saying?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Uh... She is pretty disappointed this morning.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Yeah...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I mean, that is disappointing, but...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Thank you. Thank you for your time.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04We actually, like, swear on our lives that we will come back,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- and we will deliver like we did in the afternoon.- If not better.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- It's up to Neddy for that. - OK, Jason.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Thank you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19You're welcome.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Thank you, Jason.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Sorry that this morning there were some problems.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42The group's shift might be over...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46..but the whingeing isn't.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Is it worth having just so you've got something to eat?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Good old sugary pasta.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Is it worth bearing in mind that we have been to places on this trip,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and we have met people
0:09:57 > 0:09:59that wouldn't moan about the sweet pasta?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04I don't like a lot of food. I'm not going to try and make myself sick.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06It was literally just a couple of days ago
0:10:06 > 0:10:09that you were all saying to me, "I'll never moan again!"
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and now we've all got faces like thunder.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I spent like an hour putting all this stuff on.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We go in there, and it was like a waste of time.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I don't see why we shouldn't be able to really say
0:10:20 > 0:10:21that we don't like it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23What is so awful that you had to do today?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's just, I get really claustrophobic.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'm just saying, it's just one day. Just one day.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31None of the other workers roll around on the floor,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34or lie about wearing make-up,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37none of the other workers get the hump.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and you're never going to see anything like this again,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- so what's the point in moaning? - Hi.- Hey.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Hi. My name is Malou.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Your little group interests me. Is it OK if I chat with you?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- Yeah.- Let me grab a chair.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Malou is a manager at the factory,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and she's heard about the kids' bad start.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00So what do you think of, you know, of our rules here?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- They're very, very strict.- Why?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Because I don't think I've ever gone to a place before
0:11:06 > 0:11:12that makes little coils, and I have to get wind disinfected,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14wear a big sterile suit...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Actually, wearing the suit is the easiest part.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21You just don it, and then remove it afterwards.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22But what's more difficult
0:11:22 > 0:11:26is actually when you're doing the thing that you're asked to do.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Operators work eight to 12 hours in a day,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33doing the same thing over and over again, every day.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So... What do you think of that?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- Can you imagine yourself doing that kind of work when you grow up?- No.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Well, Malou's description may not have convinced the kids,
0:11:44 > 0:11:48but for many Filipinos, working at EMS is a dream job.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I don't think the kids get this.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So tomorrow, I'm going to show them what other work is out there
0:11:54 > 0:11:56in the Philippines.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It's the morning of Day Two,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and I've got a wake-up call planned after yesterday's
0:12:05 > 0:12:07moaning about factory work.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Sometimes I think we have to see what people don't have,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14so that we can appreciate what we do have.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18You know, with that in mind, I've brought three of our kids to Manila
0:12:18 > 0:12:21to see the alternatives if you don't work in a factory.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- Hi.- Hi.- My name is Stacey.- I'm Bing. - Bing.- Yeah.- Pleasure to meet you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34'I've brought them to meet Bing because she can't get factory work.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36'Bing is forced to make a living
0:12:36 > 0:12:38'from the stuff other people throw away.'
0:12:38 > 0:12:42So, Bing, you and all your family, and everyone, actually,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44that lives in this community,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48you all make a living off digging through rubbish every day.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53TRANSLATION: The main livelihood in this area is going through rubbish.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Some people have tried to apply for regular jobs,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00but since they don't have an education,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04they can't get any jobs.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Greater Manila generates an enormous 6,000 tons of rubbish every day.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15People scrape by picking through this junk,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19looking for things like plastic bottles and cans,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21that can be sold on.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24As a child, did you not go to school?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28TRANSLATION: No, but actually most kids that live here do go to school.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32The parents make it a point to put some money aside,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35just so they'll have a better chance at life.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Families here know the way to get a good job at a factory like EMS
0:13:40 > 0:13:41is to get good grades at school.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47This is the school bus. They're all off to school.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51And with that in mind, I've sent Emma and Jonas
0:13:51 > 0:13:54to a state school near the factory to learn more.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57The school I go to is one of the top comprehensive schools in London,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and Emma goes to a private school,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02so we haven't really ever experienced what it would be like
0:14:02 > 0:14:03to go to the poor end.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08They're attending classes at Southville National High.
0:14:08 > 0:14:16- ALL: Good morning, visitors. - Good morning, class.- Good morning.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18These chairs, I left them for you.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Here places are in such demand that there are 80 pupils in each class.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25The school even operates on shifts.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29800 kids come in the morning and 800 in the afternoon.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32It is neither the gadgets nor the wealth that make someone
0:14:32 > 0:14:34happy and successful in life.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Study hard and reach your dreams.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Despite the heat and so many in the class,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42everyone's paying attention and working hard.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45They seem happy because they have an education,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49whereas loads and loads of other people don't.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50OK, for number two...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Jonas and Emma are helping with the presentation
0:14:53 > 0:14:56about British and Filipino schools.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07In England the schools are.. Well, my school is very small.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10In my class there's about 14 people.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21In England people are naughty in lessons a lot.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25School is boring, we don't like school.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26For privileged Emma,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30this classroom's a world away from her life back in Britain.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35My school's a small private school, like, girls only.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But Emma's not always the model pupil.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I think I take school for granted a little bit.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm not a troublemaker or anything,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I just get told off for stupid things,
0:15:45 > 0:15:49like just messing around with my friends.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Emma admits Mum and Dad would like her to try harder.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56My parents do remind me often that they're making a lot of sacrifices
0:15:56 > 0:15:59to send me there
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Back at Southville High, it's break.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And whilst Jonas makes friends with the rest of the class...
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Emma finds some time to chat with classmate Geraldine.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Have your parents sacrificed anything
0:16:15 > 0:16:17so that they can send you to school?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So do you have to pay to be able to come to school?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It's very inspirational that you have very little but then you try
0:16:48 > 0:16:52so hard because you have hope and you're determined
0:16:52 > 0:16:53to escape from the poverty.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yeah.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01With morning break over, lessons begin.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And it's time for the presentations.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07We were discussing the difference between education here
0:17:07 > 0:17:10and the education back in England.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Being here has made me realise, you know, how lucky I am
0:17:13 > 0:17:16to go to a school in England.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Everybody here values school and you are all working hard
0:17:20 > 0:17:24and not messing around. And you've influenced me
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and made me want to be better behaved at school,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31so, yeah, I think I'm going to change.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33APPLAUSE
0:17:33 > 0:17:35In the Philippines, having no schooling means
0:17:35 > 0:17:38there are no good jobs you can go for.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Goodbye, everyone. - ALL: Goodbye.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Bing didn't finish school,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52so she was forced to leave her island home
0:17:52 > 0:17:53to look for work in the city.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And this move had a major impact on her family.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01So, Bing, this is your home.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- This is where the entire family stay and live.- Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06So how many children do you have?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12So all of your five children stay in this one room?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15SHE SPEAKS IN FILIPINO
0:18:15 > 0:18:19TRANSLATION: 'Of our five children, our eldest two
0:18:19 > 0:18:22'are in the countryside with my mum.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30'The three youngest are the only ones with me
0:18:30 > 0:18:33'because we didn't have any money left
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'for all seven of us to come here.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40'I had to make the very hard decision of leaving
0:18:40 > 0:18:42'the two behind with my mum.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45'For me to leave my two kids and just take away three
0:18:45 > 0:18:50'and to break up the family, I really had no choice.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52'It was heartbreaking for me.'
0:18:52 > 0:18:55How did you pick which ones you were going to take
0:18:55 > 0:18:57and which ones you were going to leave?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02'The two elder ones were left behind
0:19:02 > 0:19:04because they could look after themselves.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10'But the younger ones needed their mother.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15'So it's been three years, and I keep trying to save money to see them,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17'but I never have enough.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22'Most important for me is to not let another year, another Christmas
0:19:22 > 0:19:25'again pass with us being separated.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29'I really want to get my children back.'
0:19:31 > 0:19:35How much money would you need to get your children back home?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39'To go there for a visit, about £100.'
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Is that it? Only £100 to bring your family back together?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48That's like, I sell my phone and she has her family.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You do! You do.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Nothing like this should ever happen to anyone.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08To never see your children, it must be heartbreaking as a mother.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I've been away from my mum for two weeks
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and I've already missed her loads
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and she hasn't seen her kids in three years.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I just feel like no-one should be living like this.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Everyone should be equal.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27There's no reason why I should have my family and she shouldn't.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32It makes me think, "You've got it so good and you just waste it."
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Bing, what's your dream?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39What would happen if all your family were together?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43'My biggest wish is first to get my two kids.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51'And once we are together, even if we keep living like this,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55'if we work hard enough and we can put them through school,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59'then that would mean I could keep my family together,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02'that all my children will grow up together
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'and that they will know each other and not be apart ever again.'
0:21:09 > 0:21:14When we go back to Britain, we'll try and raise money to send over.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18We promise that you'll see your children before Christmas.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27'Thank you! Thank you very much for your kindness.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30'I have been praying for a blessing.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33'I think my prayers have been answered.'
0:21:33 > 0:21:36They definitely have.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Thank you so much.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44'There are five million living in Manila's slums.'
0:21:46 > 0:21:49And their life couldn't be further away
0:21:49 > 0:21:51from the one enjoyed by the kids back home.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54In Britain, everything's so trivial.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Like, my mashed potato's too lumpy, stuff like that.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Whereas people they live in places like this wouldn't care if they got
0:22:01 > 0:22:03mashed potato with lumps or no lumps.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I think everyone in Britain needs to come here and see what it is like.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Then maybe they'll shut up a bit.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I hope the case can understand why everyone's so disciplined
0:22:16 > 0:22:20and thrilled to be at the factory and everyone's genuinely made up
0:22:20 > 0:22:23to have a job there, because this is the alternative.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27If you don't work in a factory, this is where you're destined to come.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32That's the reality, and our kids have finally got it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36It's now lunchtime, and the good news is
0:22:36 > 0:22:38the factory have agreed to allow the group back in
0:22:38 > 0:22:40despite yesterday's bad behaviour.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Hi, guys!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45After everything they've seen today,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49there's only one thing on everyone's mind - helping Bing.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53What you guys have experienced this morning, it's quite moving.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I think we've all found out now the most important thing in life
0:22:57 > 0:23:00is to be with your family.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02All she needs to get her kids back is £100.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05If we all chipped in, it's £20 for each of us. That's nothing.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09With the money side of things, you have got work this afternoon,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12so there is potential for you all to earn wages.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16It's down to us to change everything we possibly can.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20If we all just work so hard, then we can give to them so easily.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23So we've got to work, give it our absolute all.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27THEY CHEER
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Standing between the group and that wage is the final factory task -
0:23:33 > 0:23:37to put tiny protective plastic tubes onto both the wires
0:23:37 > 0:23:39that come off the coil.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45The workers here are expected to complete 11 trays every hour.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Can any of the five manage to achieve the target
0:23:48 > 0:23:53they've been set of doing just one tray? That's 50 coils.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- This should be easily achieved. - Yes, yes.- OK, guys, good luck.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's an incredibly tricky job.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04You need great eyesight, steady hands and patience,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07because the tubes are just 0.1mm wide.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I don't understand how that is even possible.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14# Work it harder, make it better Do it faster, makes us stronger... #
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I keep getting cramp and I've only done six
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- because I've had to stop. It is so fiddly.- It is so difficult!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22# Our work is never over. #
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I think our group are finding the task very difficult.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30What's brilliant is if one of them gets frustrated,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33the others go, "Remember why we're doing this."
0:24:33 > 0:24:35You guys can definitely do it.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38They're really doing themselves proud.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42But with only ten minutes left, the group are all off the pace.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I've done 23.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Can anyone speed up enough to reach the target?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51# Work it harder, make it better
0:24:51 > 0:24:52# Do it faster, makes us stronger
0:24:52 > 0:24:54# More than ever, hour after hour
0:24:54 > 0:24:58# Work is never over. #
0:24:58 > 0:25:01With the hour up, the kids' time at the factory finishes,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04but not before Neddy delivers her final verdict.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09They did so badly yesterday, they nearly weren't allowed back.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Neddy!- Hello.- How are you?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15'So, today, has anyone improved enough to earn that wage?'
0:25:18 > 0:25:24I want to congratulate Milly. She had 39 units with the best quality.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Well done, Milly. You should be made up. Very pleased.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I'm just happy, but the whole group put just as much effort in.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Graceful winner.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- And here is your money, Milly. - Thank you!
0:25:38 > 0:25:43- You have actually got here 700 pesos.- £10.- Thank you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Where's that going to go?- I'm going to try to give it to Bing.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51So, we'll use Milly's wages, use some of Nia's wages,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- use Emma's wages. Do you lads want to put some money in?- Yeah.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'll put the rest in, so between us,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I think it is possible for Bing to fly out with all of us
0:26:01 > 0:26:04to where her kids are.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We'll bring Bing to go and see her kids
0:26:08 > 0:26:11that she hasn't seen in three years.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16We'll all be there with her. We'll fly her over and sort it out.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- And we'll fly here back. - Amazing! That is amazing!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Two days later, the group have travelled to the island of Negros.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32After combining their earnings from all the factories so far,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36they've been able to pay for Bing to finally visit her two children.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Not long, Bing. Not long.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42'Bringing them back together after three years' separation.'
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I'm just really happy for Bing.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I feel so proud that all of us together
0:27:28 > 0:27:34managed to change someone's life for the better. Everyone looks so happy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's amazing how we can reunite her family
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and get them all together.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44I just can't imagine not being with my family. So amazing!
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- I feel really proud of everybody. - You should be.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You've really achieved something.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56See you later!
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Bye! - ALL: Bye!
