Maybe because they believe in every presidential candidate slogan.Originally Posted by aromulus
Why hers...???
Poverty was there before she turned up, and it will be still there hundreds of years after she's dead....
Joseph Estrada's slogan was Erap, para sa mahirap, ("for the poor") and Gloria during her first candidacy was "pagkain sa bawat mesa" ("food on every table") and there are still many people believes in politician's tactics.
If my husband watched that program, he will surely moan again and tell why Britain always helping other countries not Philippines.Yes Alan..I would say that much of the food poverty could be described as involuntary..
Some may say that its different in lets say Manila (concrete jungle) but Filipinos from all over the country flock there because the streets are paved with gold!! Often leaving their fallow lands behind..
Reminds me a bit of London!!
Being a farmer is a no way to become hungry if they will only dig their farm and other vacant lots. That was I always hear from my dad when he was still alive. I can't find any space in our farm without plants even underneath the trees, he plants veggies for us and then take the rest to the market.
This modern times, our place is no longer a countryside but a city and it's still the same as my brod in Law and Nanay always make it sure we have veggies all the time and villagers just come and buy our veggies and no need to bring in the market.
attached my Nanay veggies that i really miss
You are right! I have seen in some areas with poor environment where their hobby is playing tong its. Too bad really as that environment influences children.
I agree we need to help ourselves and not to depend in our government.
And also not to be a burden of our society.
