He isn't a beggar but he sits in the dirty sidewalk of Faura,
He holds a poster with poorly constructed English sentences.
He has a water container covering his head and he looks sad.
He doesn't understand me and I don't understand him either.

I wanted to know what to do with him, but I just don't understand what he wants and the longer he stays there, and the longer I think, the more cynical I become.
Anyway, here is what's written on the poster:
MMDA fought me againwhy again?
I just sat down beside a land company beside on EDSA BoniRobinsons?for 5 mins. 5 employees and their truck came, detained me by force (something unclear), why?
Chinese pay them money. 2 of them shout at me "go back China" 4 of them and 3 (poor?) people attacked my head by (Geng fu?)is this why he has water container in his head, for protection?they (something unclear) driving me to farther place, east of QChow did he know?
then hurt me, but friendswho are these friends?who have been (monitoring?) my casewhat case?stopped them, Must I be killed without international helphuh?by whom? for what?
They tried to rob my money. I locked my bag, they broke my bag. I protected bag, fat employee kicked me, fought me by police stick (bottle plastic?) there are 2 wounds bleeding
they asked me to pay them 300, but I don't have I pay 100, then I left fabella center, Mandaluyongfabella is the place for homeless children right?I'm a foreign person, a refugee of UNrefugee???I have to beg...
the photo was cut, and I can't remember the continuation...
Do you understand him, do you know what he wants to happen and why? If you do, then please do enlighten me so I could do something, hopefully the appropriate thing that needs to be done.
Edited:
A friend told me that a friend told her that his name is Zhu Dan and that he neither have family nor friends. He also seems to be expecting death too...
It breaks my heart. :(
