24 Oras

Started this blog today. Was watching 24 Oras last week and was very disturbed by what is going on in the Philippines. One particular segment was about the homeless family doing their daily *batchoy* routine. That is, sifting through fast food restaurants’ garbage to find whatever piece of meat they can find and later cooking them again with soy sauce.

Many people are unaware of the plight of the poor in my country. This is sad, very sad. Maybe if we could build a massive awareness among other Filipinos and the world in general, and each person responds on his or her own way, then maybe we can make a huge huge difference. I believe that small actions we take on our own contribute to the success and failure of the entire system. I hope I am right.
