    Thousands of hungry families living in slums in the Philippines are surviving on what is locally known as pagpag, a dish made from discarded restaurant food. Scavenged from garbage bins and collection sites, the food destined for landfills is washed and recooked before being sold.
    The country’s national anti-poverty commission has issued warnings about pagpag, a name which refers to “shaking off” dirt, saying it can contribute to malnutrition.
    While there are no reported cases of deaths related to pagpag consumption so far, there are concerns about its links to diseases such as Hepatitis A, typhoid, diarrhoea and cholera.

      Education is the key to everything!!!
      Philippine Government offers free education to every Filipino, from Elementary to High School. Also in College, some needs high grades to pass and have that Scholarship. Some can pay less according to their status of living.
      Clearly these people did not finish that free education given. If they have, I don't think will end up like this.. I can't blame them somehow, coz for them earning money comes first, 2nd is education. However it was late for them to realize that they're wrong. Worst is that they don't realize it at all..
      It pains me as a Filipino seeing parents passes the same mindset to their young one's!!!
      We we're poor all my life also, but my Dad choose to push us to learn and be in school no matter what...
      Praying for this little one's and their parents!!! Hope they realize that they can still get out of this.. They do have a choice!!!

These are the kids of the rich who could afford to hire foreign nannies, cooks and chauffeurs and some probably are rich enough to be sent overseas to get a college education which their rich parents completely pay for. Do you think they really need jobs if they could afford to go out and protest everyday for over a month? They look down on the average Hong Kong salary man/woman as beneath them, so why would they treat their Filipino guest workers any better?

      isn't it their fault though? why are we acting like these people aren't responsible for having 7 children on average when they can't even feed themselves? Blame it on education? I'm pretty sure their parents committed the same mistake, and they got warned but didn't listen. Stop treating them like victims. Most people are born poor but poor people themselves are the reason why they stay poor

      @@alexlun4464 exactly right. I'm Filipino and majority of our employees come from such a poor state and so we try to educate them and help them earn money by being responsible working adults. It's not a big brain shop we run. I can tell you 80% OF THE PEOPLE we hire are VERY irresponsible teenager parents and when you tell them off (drinking, how to spend money) they either quit or stop coming to work (without even telling us).
      People seem to forget that it's the people itself who has the problem. The government also offers free money to those who have no jobs every month (especially those enrolled in the indigenous program).
      One time, one of the parents' employees said, "it's okay if you don't have work, we get free money from the government".
      We don't want to generalize ALL but just letting you guys know that MAJORITY of people think like that.

For example, over 90% of Las Vegas buffets in the US truck their food waste out to pork farms where it's sorted and the majority used as pig feed. I don't see why the Philippines couldn't try something similar and even pay restaurants to participate, especially with how much of a staple pork is there.

So yeah once I graduate I'm sure to find a job to have experience and apply overseas and leave this country it's hopeless people don't follow simple rules, drugs, corruption, crimes and most of all crab mentality to it's finest I wonder how they could even say "I'm proud to be FILIPINO" when there's not a single thing to be proud of.

      well its true all about what you said, but lies beneath on what you have said, comes a lil bit of hope. Maybe now we can't improve the current state of the country but maybe generations from now it would change. Poverty is not something that can be just eradicated in our country, even the most develop countries have trouble on actually eradicating poverty in their country, like USA etc. BUT what WE can do right now is avoid poverty, by achieving finished educational status and achieving our dreams. Maybe with that, we can at least somehow live a better life. So y'all shouldnt give up on our country.
