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.
