When I talked to friends and the Life Where I’m From community about going to the capital city of the Philippines, Manila, many warned me about the traffic. One community member even offered to show me her commute, so of course, I jumped at the opportunity.
 
At first I thought, oh yeah, everyone complains about their area’s drivers, and the congestion is bad, and you know, here it’s the worst. But after reading some reports, traffic in the Philippines, and especially Manila, really is some of the worst in the world.
 
I’ve filmed a lot about the Philippines, so I might be making 2-3 more videos, and perhaps one that talks specifically about Manila’s Traffic problem.

40 Would you eat recycled landfill meat? – BBC News

 

26 feb. 2018

Ever wonder what happens to restaurant leftovers? In the Philippine capital, Manila, meat is recycled from landfill tips, washed and re-cooked. It’s called “pagpag” and it’s eaten by the poorest people who can’t afford to buy fresh meat.
 
Warning: You may wish to skip this one if you have a delicate disposition.

41 Inside The Filipino Slums Selling ‘Pagpag’ Recycled Food

14 feb. 2019

Viral Press
362K abonnees
Stomach churning footage shows how hard-up Filipinos eat meals made from waste food – that has been re-cooked and sold as a new dish.

Tens of thousands of locals feast every day on the revolting left-over junk food – known as ‘pagpag’ – which is scraped together from restaurant bins in slums around the capital Manila.

The practice – which is illegal – sees stall owners gather half-eaten burgers, pieces of fried chicken and sausages before mixing them together and boiling them to kill the germs.

They then sell the recycled food from the likes of JolliBee, McDonalds and KFC, for between 10 Pesos (15 pence) and 20 pesos (30 pence) a plate.

Despite the health concerns, the popularity of ‘pagpag’ has boomed among the city’s increasing population of poor who struggle to afford fresh food. Officials have even praised pagpag for helping to reduce levels of hunger in the country.

”I eat pagpag every day,” said resident Manuel, in the slum community of Helping Land in Tondo, Manila on Wednesday.

”It’s tasty and I only pay 20 pesos for the food. I’ve been eating this for the last four of five years, maybe longer.”

In Tondo, a small scale market has emerged where pagpag is served up with rice at dozens of different wooden shacks and stalls.

The food – sometimes mixed with sauces or herbs – is called pagpag after the Filipino term which means to ‘to shake and remove the dirt’. It is gathered from the bins outside fast-food shops and the area’s garbage sites.

The practice started more than 40 years ago in landfill communities and has grown in popularity among the city’s poor. It allows people to scrape together a living by trawling rubbish bins and dumps in the early hours of the morning before they’re collected by trucks.

They then sell the re-hashed food, which can also include slices of pizza, spaghetti or potatoes, throughout the day.

To make sure that it is ‘clean’ the street food vendors boil it in water first before re-cooking it into another dish.

Manila Health Department said that the practice is illegal and could potentially put the lives of people eating it at risk. They have conducted information drives and even suggested that restaurants put odorants in their garbage bags to prevent the pagpag collectors from taking it. The restaurants are also being fined if they are caught giving out their leftover wastes to Pagpag collectors.

Despite this, people are still buying Pagpag as it is cheap and easily available. Some people say that it tastes good, as the meat was already seasoned by restaurants.

Welfare groups have also credited pagpag with reducing the levels of starvation and hunger in the city, which has been steadily dropping since 2015.

”We would like to attribute this development to the proliferation of ‘pagpag’ food. It’s very cheap, very delicious and easily accessible to the poor,” said Trade Union Congress of the Philippines-Nagkaisa spokesman Alan Tanjusay.

42 Restaurant waste served up as food called ’pagpag’ by poor Filipinos struggling to survive

Thousands of hungry families living in slums in the Philippines are surviving on what is locally known as pagpag, a dish made from discarded restaurant food. Scavenged from garbage bins and collection sites, the food destined for landfills is washed and recooked before being sold.
 
The country’s national anti-poverty commission has issued warnings about pagpag, a name which refers to “shaking off” dirt, saying it can contribute to malnutrition.
 
While there are no reported cases of deaths related to pagpag consumption so far, there are concerns about its links to diseases such as Hepatitis A, typhoid, diarrhoea and cholera.

43 This Grandma Cooks Garbage Food Waste To Survive In The Philippines | THE VOICELESS #15

12 jul. 2019

Millions of Filipinos suffer from hunger and are malnourished. According to the World Hunger Report, there are still some 14 million undernourished Filipinos and 13 million food-insecure Filipinos. Taken together, these account for nearly a third of the country’s population.
Many of these people cannot afford a single meal, so they resort to buying pagpag–leftover food collected from garbage and dumps, which are recycled for selling. We visited Tondo, one of the slums located in Manila, where we met up with Mama Rosita, a cook and vendor of pagpag.

Storm Rising: Manila’s slum dwellers under threat

Sandwiched between a polluted harbor and a busy highway is the charcoal- making a community of Ulingan- in Manila, with a population of 40,000.

Husband and wife team Judy and Babes Barines have operated a charcoal pit for the last nine years. They invested all their savings in charcoal-making but have to make some difficult decisions when their investment is wiped out by a tropical storm that hits the south of the country.

A few kilometers east of the Barines’ charcoal pits, corn seller and mother of nine, Bebe, is starting work. But she has not managed to escape the storm either. She has to repair her makeshift home under a bridge and work out how to make a living as her supply of corn dries up.

Meanwhile, Pilipinas Got Talent superstar, Frankendal, is also feeling the effects of the typhoon. He has not heard from his mother and grandmother since the storm, so he heads to the region to look for them. As a former slum dweller, he knows just how precarious life can be.

The six part-series follows residents of Manila’s Tondo slums as they live, love, survive and aspire in some of the world’s toughest living conditions.

15 feb. 2019

In a country where over 8 million are food-poor, food scavenging has sadly become a norm for many families.
Others call it trash, but for them, it’s their “meal of the day.”
Sautéed with a bit of oil, garlic, and a choice between patis or toyo, are various parts of fried chicken. However, what remains of the chicken are mostly just bones.
In the Philippines, these recycled meals are called “pagpag,” which roughly translates to “dusted off food.” Families scour dumpsites for what appears to be “still edible.”
The sound of garbage trucks, carrying leftovers from fast food chains, signals meal time.
Families clean the leftover food by dusting it off (pagpagin). To be extra sure, others wash the leftovers before boiling or frying – modifying someone’s dinner leftovers into someone else’s breakfast.
Pagpag is also a business. Some food scavengers sell their pagpag, sometimes giving discounts to neighbors and patrons.
Health professionals warn against the dangers of eating pagpag. They are at risk of getting salmonella and other illnesses. Eating nothing but pagpag can be detrimental to children’s health for they are not getting the nutrients needed for proper growth and development.
Despite these warnings, some families say they have no other choice. It’s either pagpag or nothing at all.
