This is the way it is in the Philippines. This is a short conversation with a typical young Filipino today May 26, 2023
The wealthy Philippine politicians should be ashamed but apparently they are not.
Short conversation with a young Filipino......
ME: Did you have some food to eat for lunch?
Young person: Yes we still have last rice later this evening, mama and papa only eat small so that we can eat a lot. This evening we will make porridge so that we can all eat.
Young person: It's fine daddy j we understand it's difficult. You always help us whenever we need it and thank you so much daddy j for it.
ME: I wish that those that have plenty. Those that have not known the feeling of hunger would know what it feels like.
