45 Pesos means what to you? A Stand UP to Poverty post
We were briefed beforehand about what we were to go through. The actual experience of interacting and being there in the area is absolutely different from what i had envisioned.
One group was residing underneath an aqueduct-like tunnel, while another resides directly underneath a bridge.
They do not have a fixed income. Their kids have problems with education. Health is a major concern. Government inadequacies....
That is poverty. Compared to how we live? A large percentage of people live with less than $1 a day. How can you equate that for you? Well. Try living on 45 pesos for a whole day.
45 Pesos. Less than a meal at McDonald's,
I spent 10 pesos on pandesal. 17 pesos on instant noodles. 10 pesos on a bag of nuts. 6 pesos on water. That's 43 pesos already. Imagine you have to do that everyday. It is mind-boggling, to say the least.
As such, I stand up to fight poverty. I pray for truth and accountability. I wish I could do a better job, but i know i will with the power of the ballot.
Let's Stand Up to Poverty! Stand Up and make yourself involved.
I am a Cancer, born in the Year of the Dog, a day after the feast day of St. John the Baptist, in the month of the Pearl.
I am a philosopoet, devoted to now writing what are on my thoughts on a frequent basis.
I am a Filipino, devoted to its culture and traditions and will not trade it for anything else in the world.
I am a Catholic, devoted to the tenets of the Church.
I am an Atenean, devoted to the faith and principles of magis.
I am a Maristian, devoted to Mary through the ideals of St. Marcellin Champagnat.
I am a proud graduate with a major in Development Studies, devoted to changing the world, whichever way possible in this grim reality we put ourselves in.
This is where you you can make pithy comments!
Just remember: No bloviating! That's my job!
