Poverty in the Philippines

thumb|Pagpag Pagpag is the Tagalog term for leftover food from restaurants (usually from fast food restaurants) that is salvaged from garbage sites and dumps. Preparing and eating pagpag is practiced in the slums of Metro Manila, such as Caloocan, Tondo, and Pasig. It arose from the challenges of hunger that resulted from extreme poverty among the urban poor.
