  • What food fuels the slum that never sleeps?
    Pasil, home to the Philippines’ oldest port and an important fish market that the entire Cebu city revolves around, is buzzing 24 hours a day. Whether at midnight, pre-dawn or the morning rush, there are always people looking for a filling meal for cheap.
    Around the clock, these food vendors are cooking up incredible dishes using offal and offcuts like brain and liver or cheaper fish to create belly-warming dips and soups. And these residents have each other’s back, providing freebies like a gravy that allows unlimited dips to a seafood grilling service at no extra charge. This slum’s food economy is out to help those with little to spare.

    Just for clarification, pig brains is not a food for the poor people in the Philippines. Its price is actually close to pork meat , so you can't consider it for people . When I buy ( goto/ a variety of porridge) its a little bit pricey and not always available even though its always on the menu . Pig brains are usually eaten with those acquired taste , and not a lot of people like it . Rich or poor people it depends on their preference , so we don't eat it because we are poor but some of just like to eat it .

    During my younger days in Cebu City. I used to go this place to purchase fresh seafoods and eat their famous cuisines. This is famous in my city. For me it is not a slum food. But it's a delicacy for us as a pure blooded Cebuano. And I tell you frankly, It's not dirty food. Even now in my forties, I still hang around and eat there.

      So CNA must show poverty porn, to make other people feel better?
      I often say that majority of Filipinos are like Diogenes, without them even knowing it. Outsiders try to box Filipinos to their concept of money.
      A lot of Filipinos are happier (Quality of life) even with our current Standard of living. We are communal, we love to be surrounded by people. Even if you think that the area looks "poor", you will be surprise of how rich in happiness people are there.
      Also most of these vendors might look poor to you, but they earn way more than average wage in Philippines. Some are just contented with their living condition. A crowded place like those means cheap rent for business and more customers. Also food business is really time and physically demanding, even there in SG.

      I'm not sure the average Singaporean will see things the way you describe them. As a first world nation, career and success comes first. Now, of course this entails pressures that may deal blows to one's self-esteem, and that is where Mediacorp comes in. You can't downplay how important this is for SGers.

    Huge failure of our government that the people of Pasil and numerous other slum communities in our country can't be rehoused into proper housing and live with all their basic needs met.
