Just Asking

Filipino KPop and PPop boy group is going global. and there is no stopping them, It seems like it was only yesterday when we see them audition for Dream Makers at ABS CBN ... after some training in Korea, they are invited to KAMP FEST CDMX 2023 in Mexico on August 19.

However, there is a snag ... and a setback. The Damocles sword fell in our midst when Mexican immigration inform the group that due to stringent Mexican government minor labor policy ... Jeromy Millendez and Marcus Cabais will not be allowed to perform due to age limitations.

Here are the facts. Under Mexican law, children under 16 are not allowed to work more than six hours per day. Permission must be gained from parents or guardians and unless there are exceptional circumstances, mandatory education must not be affected. Despite this law, almost 97 percent of children work more than 35 hours per week, which is well above the legal six hours per day. Children often drop out of school to help provide financially for their families.

Is this just making a mountain out of a molehill? If Mexicans are breaking the law, why apply these laws to visiting entertainers? Besides performing in the show for only 6 minutes is negligible ... while they allow six hours per day to local minors. I am just asking though ... not meddling in the state's affairs.

Will they allow Jeromy and Marcus to travel with the group and just sit down with them and give them the much-needed support? Are minors traveling for vacation in Mexico not allowed as well?

Let us give moral support to the rest of the members - Vinci, Reyster, Winston, Kyler, and Kim.
