Most children in Manila play in dangerous street areas, using broken equipment and traffic islands. The document discusses creating a safe playground for these children, as the streets are no place for them to play. It shows pictures of children playing in risky street conditions, as well as at a primary school and girls' home, to convey the need for a dedicated playground space.
