I am afraid if the ongoing economic crisis affecting every sector except the very rich continue for several more months how long can filipinos handle hunger and poverty? Right now the country is sitting on top of a boiling social volcano, soon to erupt and it will be a big explosion, a possible revolution, not a superficial middle class people power but a bloody revolution, when people's stomachs are empty, no one can prevent social unrests not even the military and police who are still loyal to the corrupt Arroyo government.I feel sorry for filipinos, from the beginning they were ruled by greedy politicians. But nothing last forever.Thanks There is lots of hunger now not only in Mindanao

Many of the very poor people lived in plywood shacks. But, they had Cadillacs parked out front! I couldn't believe it. Nowadays, you see people in the States who are considered poor, and they have Cable TV and other luxuries (considered needs these days). It really saddens you when you see the truly poor, and they don't have even rice to feed themselves or their kids. It's a shame. Juan - Yes, it is sad when these people are searching for even a grain of rice, while some of the corrupt in the government are living off of the things they stole from the people.

Those people digging for scrap in Zamboanga City have nothing on their table, and local officials dare not to visit the garbage dump the scavengers call hill of poverty in Lumbangan village! Tsk tsk tsk too bad! I agree with Marcus.

I have often pointed out how this is nohting more than a matter of perspective that in too many parts of the world even the poorest here in the US would be considered robber barons in other parts of world.
