I guess its what you`re use to regarding poverty. You cant miss what you never had.
If for example you`re poor and never had any real treats and then your more wealthy relation from England come and visits you and showers you with gifts and also sends you money from the UK it makes you happy right?
Then after awhile no more money is sent and next time they visit you theres no showering of gifts and such, so you feel like you`re missing out.
Even though you never asked for anything initially, after awhile you get use to it and almost expect it.
Its not just The Phillipines where poor people smile, you see it all the time on the news with kids in Africa and the like.
