It was in 1994 when the real extent of poverty in the Philippines hit me. Reality hit me, HARD.
Coming out of the review center in Manila for my nursing exam, I was so hungry for my lunch that i took out a muffin to eat along the way to the cafeteria. Unwrapping it outside the door, in a second i was holding AIR. The boy flew along Recto Avenue.
Stunned in realisation of what happened, SADNESS enveloped me, thinking how poor we have become for that kid to act that way to have something to eat.
CHANGE
For a long time now, Filipinos are clamouring for it. Presidents after presidents that have come to power have promised that. But instead, the poor became poorer, the rich became richer.
This DIVIDE seemed like it's not going to end. Then came President Duterte. The OLIGARCHS are being shaken to the core.
