Millions of Filipinos suffer from hunger and are malnourished. According to the World Hunger Report, there are still some 14 million undernourished Filipinos and 13 million food-insecure Filipinos. Taken together, these account for nearly a third of the country’s population.
Many of these people cannot afford a single meal, so they resort to buying pagpag--leftover food collected from garbage and dumps, which are recycled for selling. We visited Tondo, one of the slums located in Manila, where we met up with Mama Rosita, a cook and vendor of pagpag.
Special thanks to our Asian Boss team in Manila, Philippines.

I was visiting Vietnam years ago. I was eating in a restaurant and I saw a young guy and a small child sitting there staring at me. I didn’t know why After I was done they came and asked if they could finish my soup and soda. I said “of course not.” I told them to sit down and ordered them each a big bowl of noodles soup and each a soda. They were so happy. Best couple bucks I’ve ever spent. Just be thankful for what you have.
You're so kind! We must be thankful for what we have cuz some ppl r starving,homeless and poor unlike some of us who always have food to eat,money and good education
Bless you.
You're just like my mother :') Good job
bless upon you
👍🏻 god bless you brother
"Not a single person on earth deserve eating food straight out from the dumpster.. " yeah you're right dude. :(
Although I agree with him, if it's journalism, he should simply report it and let us form our own opinions.
@@Cruxador well it's can't be categorised into journalism. More like youtube documentaries
@@vinchipolo1372 not just Filipinos
Some of that food looks delicious.
Chill Down food, esp not that much, shouldn’t be thrown away in the first place. I don’t exclude myself to improve that.
As my lecturer said when I was in uni:
We don't have shortage of food. But the access to food.
My lecturer said the same thing too! Those were deep words.
Well yeah, if you willing to cover the cost of transportation, every household in american would donated to feed every homeless lifetime of food.
Then there's crops thrown in sea or in land sites to rot so that to keep the price "rate constant"
@@durian111Well you're half way right here. First off America cannot solve everyone else's problems and America should not solely be looked at as the only financial contributor to this issue countries, such as China, South Korea, North Korea, and Japan should be contributing to this as well given that these are also Asian countries it makes sense that they too should be looked at to help out their brethren. NATO they could certainly help in this matter but looking solely at America to fund this is stupid. As far as food goes I would use part of that funding to kick start farming in those areas. There's a saying that goes if you give a man a fish you have fed him for a day but if you teach a man to fish you've fed him for a lifetime that heavily applies here. Raise livestock, grow crops, go hunting, go fishing. Resources for that would feed generations to come.
I remember when I was around 8 years old, me and my family didn't have enough money to buy from carinderias (food stalls) and even though they knew us, we're so deep in debt that they started saying no to us. So, papa left to look for food one night with what money he had left and came back carrying a bag of fried pagpags. I didn't know what it was other than the fact that it was chicken and asked mama what it was and she just said it was called 'pagpag'. I ate it and actually really liked it. I always wondered why we never ate it again after so many years. Fast forward to my 20s, I finally knew where it came from and it doesn't really bother me in the slightest. I'm grateful that my parents still looked for ways to feed us in spite not really telling us where it came from. It's just sad though that so many people have to resort to this in order to keep themselves from starving.

Damn

@@siesta7520 wait, this is copied?
I love the fact that you were grateful and understanding for your parents and didn't get angry at them. you have been raised as a very good person!
"I complained that I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet."
All of us on RUclips are so fortunate whether we acknowledge it or not.
A man with no feet does not generally need shoes though (unless they have prothetics and want those to have shoes) but a man with feet certaily needs footwear to protect ones feet from pathogens and getting wounds (unless you're from a tribe that do not really wear shoes)
@@maeannengo4908 the point is, instead of complaining you need to do things and worked hard so you can buy a good pair of shoes someday. While having no feet, it's two times hardship, being disabled unfortunately limits what you can do. Don't take things literally lol
@@jaydeehobi499 No that's not what it means. That saying is used by people who reject complaints even valid ones. What it's trying to say is one should not complain and should be content with what they have because others have it harder. The saying just uses wanting shoes and having no feet. But if you really think about it the logic of the saying is flawed.
The main point of green carnation is stop complaining for the small things that you have rather start appreciating it because there are people who are struggling to survive everyday because they don't have a food to eat or because of their disability.
That is why i don't want kids because i don't want to create more suffering.
god damnit asian boss, we went from the best hostess in japan, to a murder house realtor, and then now garbage eating. what a roller coaster great job as always
Hahahahha lol
Yeah 🙃🙃🙃
society is a spectrum. I’m so grateful that Asianboss understands that and can depict it with compassion and accuracy.
I watched them in that order too😅
this was my exact video track record.
I’m Filipino and this is the reality here, especially in the poor areas. I’m sad to see my fellow people eating leftovers. I am even more disheartened when I see “influencers” on RUclips or Social Media deliberately waste food for views when people, not only here in the Philippines, are hungry and have no food to eat or have no resources to buy food.
Those people who waste food for likes, deserve to go straight in hell
@sivachand p babu ohhhhh boyyyyyy i wish
it's make me more disgusting to the 'influencer' than the food in this vid
@sivachand p babu welp it is what it is. Our government sucks like very very lol

Yeah it’s sad to see but that’s the most people ever do. “Oh it’s so sad but time to move onto the next RUclips video!”
Wow. To the interviewer who tried pagpag for the sake of info, u da real MVP.
how does that make him the mvp? he's no different than them. we are all one. just because he has a better life and more money and tried it, and that made him mvp? is he suppose to be too good for that? thats whats wrong with society these days. don't make it seem like we are better human beings than them. think about that...
@@dailodai9586 calm down you tities
@@dailodai9586 will you eat pagpag then?
dailo dai shut up
dailo dai is if you have money and food will you go and eat it?
I am a Filipino but I'm not proud of having my kababayan experience this. Some people in the comments section say "Im proud to be a Filipino for enduring this kind of life" like seriously??? this isn't something to be proud of! Stop romanticizing poverty! We should be ashamed that our government is so corrupt and is not doing anything to help these people. All they did was to implement anti-poor laws which make poor people poorer and capitalist and politicians richer and richer. SHAME!!!
Finally,someone speak the truth
PREACH
It's a betrayal that goes back decades. The history of it is despicable.
maybe someday filipinos will stop voting for celebrities in office or corrupt family members to keep running the show. maybe they can finally stop focusing on jesus christ and focus more on the issues at hand...
Ang sobrang sakit para kay lola at para sa mga nahihirapan sa buhay na kailangan nilang gawin ang kaya nilang gawin para mabuhay💔
Meanwhile in Japan, convenient stores and restaurants MUST throw out good food that wasn’t sold for the day. Employees can’t even take it home. Shame
Well this is kinda good there is a video hopefully some rich people see and help..Rich people in the Philippines have them people out..
It goes out because people can sue, they would if the people who actually got the leftover are grateful for what they have gotten instead of suing for their own action and other people's kindness, it's sad but that what it is💔
SHAME. YOU WANT TO RISK FOOD POISONING BUT THE COMPANY DOESN'T. ALSO, PEEPS ARE FREE TO GO AFTER THE THROWN FOOD OUTSIDE.
@@I56559I not when the trash bin? was rhe companys, read why people dont let homeless people get free leftover food
its the bad homeless people who tried to take advantage, now the people who actually wanted it cant do it anymore
@@e2dwf976 rich people created this Problem in the first place
For the people who think it’s nasty, it’s still relatively *fine* to eat. She says that the dry stuff inside containers is ideal because they likely haven’t made contact with anything actually dirty. The stuff that is touching the nasty water at the bottom of trash bags are too far gone because who knows how many chemicals and bacteria is in that. Mold also grows quicker on warm, wet stuff. As for cooking, frying the stuff in hot oil will kill anything that managed to stick on when they washed them.
In the end, you should really be eating something better, but if all you earn is $5 tops a day, you could survive off of it.
Idt these people even have the right to complain abt it being nasty. If these people can’t stand to see them garbage food, they should stfu and try helping em.
To think that they know this knowledge in the first place..and to think im also a Filipino just like them in the same country breathing the same air…
@@brian-vm1zt
Honestly, they can actually open a course or study lesson to teach people how to live through slumming similar to how other survivalist can teach you how to live in the jungle or snow.
Tbh it doesn't seem that bad l, I've eaten at restaurants where it felt like it was left to expire on purpose
Plus their immune systems have probably become stronger against the common bacteria and viruses so it doesnt harm them now.
Now i understand why my mom is so mad when i don't finish my plate
@@unactivechannel7249 I really dont think your mother "likes" washing the dishes as you said but I could understand the cooking.

Don't judge. She's earning an income, feeding a community, especially kids, that is on the verge of starving.
Believe me, no one is judging her. She is a far greater person than so many people on earth
If you are poor and dumb maybe you should not be popping out mistakes you cant afford.

You wait you will live like this soon enough.
@Keyzer Soze potential scammers everywhere these days
@Keyzer Soze few years back a church pastor or someone in charge of finances was embezzling
I feel sad seeing these people leaving like this , I wish I could help them all . If all the rich people could just contribute a little them so many people can stay safe and eat a decent meal.
The Philippines is extremely corrupt, and the wealth gap is large. Unfortunately as of now, no one can really do anything about it
@@g.p4737 A lot can they just wont
@@xian5087 to be frank, they honestly don’t care enough to do anything about it
Rich people not donating is not the issue its jobs that they need. Lets say they give the poverty 1 week supply of food sure thats gonna help but as long as they dont have a source of income they can't rise from the lower class, and no getting donations is not income that's why its called donations because it wont last them a long time.
@@g.p4737 welp im lucky this part where im living in isnt poor or anything
My father used to cook and sell pagpag and I am not ashamed! Hope this video helps people to value food more.
I agree. I'm American and I hate that so many people here waste food and especially meat
I agree people should value food more. The amount of perfectly good food that is wasted by restaurants in the west is astonishing.
@semantanijones cause it's unhygienic
Mercy upon your father. I cannot relate, but I understand and no judgement is passed.
♥️ good people.
People in 1st world countries take everything for granted and everyone is so wasteful. Despite the hardships and struggles, Filipinos are still proud. That deserves respect 100%
I agree I live in the US and the stuff people say is sickening here...and how wasteful they are...
Just Some Guy without a Mustache I agree 100% as people here in the US are wasteful like crazy. They take everything for granted and never think of those who must suffer even for the most basic essentials of life. I guess if the needle has not poked them yet then they do not know it hurts.
zdzdzd zdzdzd Well said and still remember once going shopping at Winco and witnessing a worker throw away 3 pounds of fried chicken that was still good right before my eyes. I could not believe how wasteful people are when others are suffering and going hungry. I guess people will not care until it affects them.
@@iamf6641 dude, what?
My wife is a Filipina and she is not proud of her country. She is upset with it.
When you think you're stressed a lot with your own life, you don't realise how good you have it.
This made me cry, as a grown man, married to a Filipina woman, I can only see love in these people. This lady has such a kind heart. I want to help them so bad. There has got to be a way

Me too, i could not even finish this video :'(
The system has everything pre made your status is no luck but statistics for the economy. Hope we can give to this lady something more than a comment :( i feel so bad for people who cant eat properly no one deserves it.
Yeah but the thing is. We have to pay for our food, if I want to spend 5 dollars for 100 chicken nuggets eat 10 and throw the rest away it's my money that I earned from working LOL
Meanwhile, somewhere in the United States... some guy had thrown his drink at a McDonald’s cashier because it wasn’t the drink he wanted. To have a choice of food to eat is a blessing.
And a mom demanding for the manager to give her a refund because the food tasted nasty even though she finished her plate.
And some kid in the USA turned off the power in his local McDonald’s after his mom didn’t order the burger he wants
Btw I live in the Philippines too
@@auhsojacosta1672 what
Same thing is happening in the Philippines. You've got the upper class complaining about food, then you've got the lower class starving for food. Where are all these pagpag food came from? From the upper class society, thrown out because they don't want it or didn't like it.
It's a shame that pagpag is made illegal by the state: if it were formalised, we could have KFCs with pagpag-exclusive bins that could be sold to formal collector companies.
That's how we can support these people, by removing it from illegality to help and serve the marginalised.
@@imtravelling5985 yeah but these people need to survive and the others were fine by it
the better option is to improve the social welfare of the country. They need help and not accept that their life would be stuck like that. Its not healthy to eat pagpag all the time, these people need healthy foods too. But i get your point too. Hope all of us have a better life in the future.
@@minatotohru6696 yeah but that takes time to build up, legalising it would at least make the current situation better and increase access and supply to food
@@imtravelling5985 Its not an issue with "can" or "can't"; this is already a reality, pag-pag is here and it's necessary for the survival of so many. The real question to ask is "on what grounds is it acceptable or otherwise?" instead, to allow for degrees of leniency and strictness based on the forums.
To say we "can't sell leftover food" summarily and lazily, without working out any exceptions to the idea, is a hazard. Impoverished kids and the under-represented are a genuine problem, it's right there in the video. At the very least, it needs a forum for discussion even if it can't be made wholly legal.
No, you wrest power from the fascist dogs and put it in the hands of the workers. You collectivize agriculture and make sure every person is fed, housed and educated. That's how you exterminate poverty.
My boss is a immigrant from the Philippines. And she had gone through so much growing up. But now she is one of the biggest patriots I know. A lot of people my age hate America and other 1st world countries, and though we need to improve still, you know that we are doing good when people give their whole lives to be here. My supervisor is one of the strongest women I know, and she has really made me understand how lucky and privileged I am to live in the states.

@@reenapareja26 seems like you are overseeing and dramatizing things. You would surely be stopped or arrested IF you don't have quarantine pass. In our community, many families have been receiving cash and food assistances since the quarantine started. Those are incomparable to what families can earn at a regular basis but I think people are already thankful for that. Although there are many families who are not receiving sufficient help from the gov't, I hope we won't NEGLECT the fact that there are still local gov't units who are helping their communities. Just think about those volunteers repacking relief goods and uniformed personnels in checkpoints who are not able to go home for the sake of duty...
My mother was telling me how she used to do this. Eternally grateful for living in America
Eating straight from the garbage is common in impoverish areas of the world. This is the first I heard about recooking and selling it. I don’t blame them.
One of the dirty secrets of even some Kalenderias "term for small restuarants in the Philippines" is that one dish could be cooked up into another dish up to 5 times.
@@iamf6641 ask that to employers who need you to graduate college or it's equivalence just to work for a low income job. That, or the available jobs they could get without education would either kill them or cripple them for life.
It's sad to see a lot of poor Filipinos who live in garbage dumps where they'll have to eat food scavenged from the garbage because that's all they could afford. For them leftovers are better than nothing and their choices was to either work in the dump or starve; that's how surviving hardships go for them in neighborhoods like this. Luckily as an American of Filipino descent I'm glad my parents grew up in a town where the locals could buy food from either open-air markets or farms.
@@iamf6641 Are you really Filipino? Cuz the way you reply is so naive. In one comment you said to nuke those peoples and now this. You must be a rich spoiled kid who doesn't aware of your own country!

We here in america have people facing hunger too. But ya for the most part ur right my kids are picky brats
I just showed this to my kids...
singalinger i’m a filipino that only visited the phillipines once when i was very little. looking back at what the phillipines have to face is a huge crack in my heart.
This breaks my heart even though i'm not filipino.
When i was younger than now, i usually casted my eyes on people who are richer than me, chased expensive things and dreamed about luxury life. Even have everything but i was never be happy.
But now i 'look down', i see countless miserable lifes which are far from my life, i feel like i'm the luckiest person in the world, born with healthy body, have family, have food every day.
Since then, my personality has changed to a different one. I'm more generous, more thankful to life. I donate 5% of my salary to miserable lifes in my area every month. I give food, clothes, stuffs to people who need it instead of dump it away. That's now one of my life's missions, to help lifes be better.
Salute to you sir
If you're desperately hungry, everything will taste good. Bless these guys still surviving, the world is harsh
I can’t believe this man actually ate the pag-pag, when he didn’t have to. Give him a raise!
i guess , Bear Grills inspired him!!
If u really pay attention to him actually putting it in his mouth, it’s a spoonful of RICE 🍚 and he didn’t go back for a second scoop, I didn’t see one piece of meat 🍖 in that spoon lol and he said “ it’s kinda chewy “ 😭 well no shyt lol that’s what a spoonful of freshly made rice is going to taste like lmaooo

Paige Tigner but she sells garbage food that can hurt people. Kids can get sick and die.
Statoll, I know she does...but that wasn’t the point of my comment!! What I was saying was, he was trying to do something to show people what these poor Filipino people in the slums are eating...and that’s all fine and good...but the only problem I have about that whole “him eating the pagpag”...he took the spoon and dug it in there and when he lifted the spoon up, the one piece of skin and meat that he did have, fell back into the little bowl...he didn’t even eat the garbage!!! Lol the rice is fine...it’s the meat that’s the garbage!!! He didn’t even eat it lol but I commend his effort though and I appreciate him for doing what he’s doing!’ He just didn’t eat the pagpag lol case an point
Disgusted at some of the comments that can still make fun of this situation. I hope you'll know what its like to be so impoverished you have nothing to eat but garbage food, and maybe then you'll gain some humanity.

@@HybridBlueDream The whole premise of the original post is just as weird as both of them because in order for a reporter to give a good and complete documentation, they must go through the same crap the one being documented did.

Not only is it impractical, it also shifts the focus, it's not about the reporter, it's about the one being reported on.
I've seen this for hundreds of times and I'll keep coming back
As a Filipino in the Philippines, even though sometimes I get unhappy when I dont get to eat what I want I try to remind myself to be thankful for what I have and for not I want because there are other people struggling more than me. I feel very lucky to be blessed with the things that I have I wish it could be the same for everyone
Reporter deserves respect. His dedication to job is on another level. Without hesitation he tasted the food. Hope to see more from you
Nobody got sick from the food.
I would've too. In the end we eat so much garbage that I think her cooking is still better plus: if it's fried and cooked I do believe most harmful bacteria is being killed (of course Idk for sure - no doctor)
I'm really just assuming... But incredible.. I also hate wasting food. Also by industries and Food markets... It's a shame. Shame shame shame!
@@senpaitama8778 As I said I'm no doctor :) I just assumed since you can kill certain bacteria in boiling water and since the "boiling point" of oil, especially frying oil, usually is higher than that of water it might have a similar effect on certain bacteria.

I don't want to spread misinformation and there sure a very different kinds of bacteria with different kinds of thresholds (ok I'm German-please be kind in regards to my English 😅). I hope I make sense.

No, it's already happening before the pandemic.
@@elainefundal8421 read it again, my guy
I hope her family received cash and food assistance from the local gov't too. 6k pesos and food packs may never be enough to a large family but I hope such will help them survive during these challenging days.
Sadly, with the corruption being prevalent in our country, I doubt they'd get the help they need. These people are most likely to go back to cooking "Pagpag" food again just to survive, sort of like a thing they are used to doing and it cost what? Not even 10 cents to buy this food compared to spending dollars on normal ones, yet alone newly cooked food from the fastfood. This is the equivalent to Haiti's dirt cookies. Crazy how humans digestive system adapt to these kind of food when they don't have any choice but to risk eating it.
Poverty exist in all countries. As a military brat, my family moved from one city to another and from one country to another. I lived in California, New York, Texas, Hawaii, Chicago and saw homeless people begging for food and looking for food in the dumpsters all the time. I remember when this kid who was standing for I don't know how long beside the restaurant asked me if he could eat the fries on the floor under our table. I didn't realize that I had dropped some of my fries. We were outside of this restaurant so you can just imagine the dirt that was already covering the fries. He was about the same age as me, I was 5 years old. My mom felt so bad for him that she bought him his own fries. He was so happy. I don't know what happened to him after that. But there are a lot of kids out there who are just like him. When we travelled in Asia and Latin America, I saw the same thing happening. Starving kids everywhere.
This made me teared up
Practically speaking, this is all they have. Im also from philippines myself and poverty is all around the corner. I myself experienced few days of hunger. A whole day without anything to eat, doing anything just to survive and that was when I was 11 years old. I was such a terrible experience specially now that there is a pandemic the overall unemployment rate has increased drastically here in the philippines. I hope it stops, I wish its possible. But I dont think it is. I just hope that things are a bit lighter for them in the future.

Seeing this kind of documentaries are a good way to remind ourselves why we are so lucky, and how real life works... It's heartbreaking but also makes me think of how admirable it is by the fact that they are still proud even if they are eating "pagpag".

Your part of the problem. No one needs your praying.. they need money.
So if you feel sad why not do something help them out by donating instead of posting a comment
@@serenegoro1529 wow you're quick to judge! Before you run your mouth commenting on my post, telling me what to do, you should know that 15% of my monthly salary goes to donations!

The Internet would be a much better place if people like you who have nothing good to say, would just keep quiet!
That's why you should appreciate that you have a good food to have. People doesn't deserve this kind of food they deserve better and I'm happy to help them whenever I wanted.
Ever since I thought Philippines is all about beaches, vacation spots, tourist attractions and beautiful scenery. This video opened my eyes that there's another side of it that the world needs to give attention to the most.

It is also present in Cebu but its really niche. Did my time in the dumpster when I was young 🤷♂️

@@arielgonzalez9993 The food or the diving?
Mr. Not so Nice both
@@arielgonzalez9993 grew up in the slums though my family was one of the slightly better off folks. So yeah I wasn't really dirt poor and didnt really need to do what I did. The thing is tho, my friends were. So yeah, I went with them hunting for scrap metals and doing odd jobs for cheap change. And at night we'd need cheap stuff to eat while hanging out. We'd stalk nearby fast food chains (mostly jollibee and mcdo) and pay attention when they'll get stuff out. For me it was fun but for the bois it was survival. Btw the food tastes like what it is in the restaurants except the flavor changes slightly depending on the amount of oil you put in.
I love Filipinos they are the kindest most sweetest giving people I've ever met my life and I'm proud to be part of a family like that
Videos like this put me in a better mind set. To be more grateful for what I have and to keep counting my blessings
In December 2019 I went to the Philippines for the first time in my 21 years of life to visit my family in Bulacan. I downloaded and watched this video on the plane, preparing myself for what was to come. I took a day to visit one of these slums in Manila and bought ice cream for the kids. One thing that has stuck with me to this day was the smell. the smell of sewage lingering in the humid air, people opening bags of smelly, rotten food, and dead dogs full of mange lying on the street. I could not mentally comprehend how anyone could live like this. To think that for most of these people, this is all they will ever know, with no realistic hope of ever escaping it. I was on the verge of crying when a group of kids in their underwear started running around, laughing uncontrollably as they played tag. It was then that i realized the full extent of how little it takes to be happy. I, someone who had been born into a middle class family, was struggling with depression while these kids had nothing and were truly happy. I could not enjoy the rest of my vacation after that. How could I enjoy the finer aspects of this country (vacationing in El Nido, sleeping in A/C hotels, etc) that i barely have a connection to while there are kids born and raised here that will forever live in poverty? To this day, I still don't have an answer to that question. All I know is that those of us in the first world need to start counting our blessings. Stop complaining and making issues for yourself so you have something to cry about. Count your blessings, material pursuits don't bring any lasting happiness, and start being there for people in need.
Thank you for sharing Nikolas, it gave me chills while reading.
That's absolutely true, behind the paradise we have not only in the Philippines but in the world, there lies a more miserable world we're living.
That's why we should be grateful and content in the things we have, we're far more fortunate than the most people already.
Live a good life my friend.
@@marvinskywalker9607 And to help the people in need. Don't give money to the government, if you want to help them, give it to the ones who genuinely want to be helped. Almost every insitution in the Philippines is corrupt.
🙄
Same man. After realizing and seeing these humble people, it really had me struct knowing how much things I’ve wasted. While if I were to imagine all the money I spent, could’ve been a fiesta for these people.
Hey man, thanks for your honesty. I think all of us balikbayans experience a similar dissonance.
Half of my family still live very "simply," while the other half did grow up streetwise and are doing better now, but know what super first-world pleasures look like (thanks to a caring, admittedly overgenerous and indebted parent). Luckily no one would ever stoop to the level of money vulture since they're good people. Both sides of the family are happy with how they live, and I came to learn and adapt to that quickly.
It was frustrating to see how strangers were living, though, knowing most don't get the kind of support my family does. The weirder shock is seeing how close the disparities can be in the same neighborhood. One block could be simple livable apartments, then around the corner are blocks of rundown shacks. Then less than a mile away from the shacks, the tall shiny office buildings, hotels and malls. Do the fancy rich people not realize what surrounds them?
Fun fact: "Pagpag" in "filipino also means "to shake off". The term originated from the process of "shaking off" the dirt/garbage that clung to the leftover food before storing it.
Thats actually not a fun fact. That's so sad
@@RS-mx2yf More like Trivia rather than fun fact

@@dr.quinnzel7284 yeah, that's another definition
R Ş It's actually a word commonly used in the philippines. It isn't sad however seeing people eat recycled food is not quite saddening.
As a Filipino I am fully aware of the poverty that occur in our country, and this was so heartbreaking to watch...
This is heartbreaking but this also one of the many realities of my country. You can't be choosy especially if you are just trying to survive for the day and onto the next.
When she said she makes 4-6 a day that broke my heart bro...
just me a soul an emphatic guy.
Some people make less then her it's sad
the government also said that a 5 person family can live off of less than 3 usd a day. like damn.
You'll get sadder when you discover that the minimum wage here in the Philippines is roughly 9 dollars a day and you won't get a job simply because of demanding a salary higher than that.
Yeah, but thats converted to 700 pesos, which is actually a lot and u can feed a whole big family with that money
It’s obvious how sad this whole situation is... I couldn’t help but think, if this lovely, kind woman can whip up food from the garbage that looks this amazing, I can only imagine what she could do with a fully stocked kitchen:)💚
I agree with you on that one!!!
She may not know what to do in a well stocked kitchen. Use logic. She is used to dumpster diving. I used to shop like this too.
Kevin Gonzalez I can tell she likes feeding people and seeing the smiles on her face when they appreciate her food. I feel the same way too, I enjoy cooking and feeding people and appreciate when they appreciate my food. I think if she was in a fully stocked kitchen that motivation to see people content and fed would drive her to learn about how to use what appliance etc. Hopefully there is a future for her to do such a thing.
@yuri김 That was my point:) I also show love to people by way of cooking:) I wasn’t trying to get into technicalities. Just seeing people that have so little but they still manage to have a smile and a positive outlook on life, it would do most of us good to do the same:)
I really respect Pinay people. They are tough people. I traveled there several times many years ago and the poverty was shocking. As a first world person, I seriously doubt I could do what these people have to do just to survive.

@@rahman113 no necessarily high end, but she could get better equipment and tolls so she could make more or take less time and have an easier life.
@@roxannedunstanharvey4898 100$ is near nowhere to purchase better equipment. Makeshift equipment yes, but if you are saying about equipment to shorten the production time and to produce larger quantity, it could go up to thousands of dollars.
@@rahman113 karinderya is one of the example that everyone could afford. Everything is fresh and you can buy a lot for half a dollar

I’m an American living in Cebu, the Philippines. Watch this is still so hard. I live in a poorer neighborhood and feed all the kids at least once a month all at the same time- a big meal. I know it’s not enough, but I don’t have enough resources to feed everyone. It hurts to see the poverty. I’ll never get used to it. I have never been to Manila, but after watching this video I can only imagine it’s worse. At least in my Barangay, any kid knows if they are really hungry they can come to my house and they’ll get some oatmeal or rice and pork or pancit or whatever we have at the moment- anytime. I can’t turn kids away and they are kind and never over abuse being able to come for food. Good kids.
Update: I left Cebu and I’ve moved to Laguna in Southern Luzon.
You seem like a cool guy thanks for doing that though :)
