In the biggest slum in Manila called Tondo, over 1 million people are living in a space that is less than 2 square kilometers. And inside of Tondo, you will find a lovely lady named Evelyn who serves freshly made "pag pag" from the confines of her own home. Pag pag is the Tagalog slang for 'leftover food' from restaurants such as McDonald's and Jollibee, where the scraps have been taken from garbage sites around town and brought to Tondo to be recooked into unique dishes, and sold on the streets. Evelyn has been dumpster diving and cooking pag pag for over 1 year, and I was really curious to learn more about it, so I went deep into the slum to meet her and tell you her full story. As sad as it may seem from the outside, you will soon learn that this is a success story -- Evelyn makes more money than her friends working corporate jobs, and she has sent all of her kids to college from her pag pag earnings
Most of you guys already know that the Philippines is my absolute favorite country in the world. I have traveled here more than 60 times, and while 99% of my videos in the Philippines have been positive over the years, I strongly felt the need to tell this story which may come off as controversial. I made this story because I feel that poverty in the Philippines shouldn't go unnoticed, as nearly 4 million people in Manila are living in them. Evelyn is as sweet as can be, and I think many of you will find her story to be uplifting and motivational. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments down below - whether positive or negative :)

The Philippines is my favorite country in the world and this is the first story I’ve told here that is somewhat controversial. But I felt the need to tell it because it is real life on the streets of Manila. Evelyn is an amazing person and this is very much a success story about her life.

I know that some Filipinos might find this featured story insensitive but for me it's an eye opener with a great lesson to learn from. A lot of people in those areas are suffering from poverty and is food insecure and Pagpag is their only way out to fill up those hungry stomachs. Hoping and praying that someday, these people will no longer resort to eating pagpag, that it will only be a memory for the kids when they grow up. Kudos Drew for featuring the other side of the Philippines.

@mariekatherine5238 9 місяців тому
I’ve actually gone dumpster diving in the US with a poor family in Appalachia. It was behind a small grocery. We found still frozen foods in packages set to expire at midnight, foods still cool with same sell by dates. There were also edible fruits, vegetables, slightly bruised or a bit overripe, perfectly fine with washing and cooking. There were a few items like canned stuff or boxed foods, expired but recently. We took nothing that was obviously gone off or canned goods with huge dents or swollen. It really made me think because this was the USA in the mid-1980’s, not a slum in the Philippines! I did eat the food because it hadn’t been in someone else’s mouth or rotting all day in a dumpster. Why was it being thrown out instead of saved and donated? Yes, we could have been arrested. It’s a crime to be hungry? No, the parents were not on drugs. The mother worked part time in a gas station to which she walked six miles to save on gas! The father was disabled with what was probably COPD. He’d previously done some mining but couldn’t anymore because he got so winded. He didn’t have black lung thus got no disability. They were raising eight children, three of their own and her sister’s five to keep them out of the foster care system.

You’re absolutely right, and that’s a great thing to say about someone. And I agree with you; looking at the surface of this situation. But I do have a different opinion, because there is more going on here (. I want to make sure, you, coldfact, know I am not trying to direct my comment “ at” you, or be mean to you, or say ur wrong. 👍) Sometimes, when a person is a guest in other countries and cultures, and been invited into their homes, ect., that person may be offered food, that’s meant as a sign of respect. Not always, but sometimes, refusing that food can be seen as a sign of disrespect. Maybe this guy didn’t know that. I didn’t know that-until my cousin told me this; a situation just like this happened to him. But it does not help this dudes case, that he is filming people humbly digging thru garbage, to make a dish his entire documentary is about. And it really didn’t help him, when his film crew all sat down and took a plate. And it absolutely didn’t help that he lied and said he had food poisoning, because it was obvious he didn’t have food poisoning. I almost feel a bit sorry for him. Next time, maybe he will just accept the plate. ( You don’t have to chow down with wild abandon)

I'm sure there are other stories in Tondo that are hard to bear witness to, however, I appreciated seeing an aspect of this community that demonstrated their resourcefulness and work ethic. Something else that spoke to me was the reuse of animal product that otherwise would be wasted. I feel that in not wasting a single part, and feeding hungry families who need affordable meals, this woman fully honors the sacrifice of the animal's life and suffering to sustain a human being in all the ways she possibly can. It is easier to find gratitude and let go of perceived hardship seeing people find delight in these circumstances. Thank you, Drew.

It’s nice to see this place again, I’ve visited this place about 5 years ago to complete our community development subject. As a foreigner I was warned that I’m susceptible to snatching and the like, so my classmates and other employees of the barangay were all eyes on us. Regardless of few negative experiences, I enjoyed every single moment of our stay. People are friendly especially the small ones each time we teach them numbers and letters. It was our last day when we try pagpag from a humble home, probably not the best food that I tried but good enough to fill you up for the day. It was not food that makes everything remarkable nor the negative experience, it was the extreme hospitality and the friendly atmosphere that makes you home. Like giving you the best bed to sleep even if they lay on the floor, taking the most treasured utensils so we could use them etc. I wish the city government would open their eyes to see the real situation these people had to endure everyday not just being seen during election. But I doubt that they would even try to read our studies and recommendations as no actions has been taken since then. I wish those eyes flaming with hope are still burning from those children we met in Tondo. ❤

I was at the grocery store here in FL and the store employee comes with 2 big shopping carts and collects all the perfectly packaged pre made sandwich's and foods 1 day before expiration everyday and then throws them away. They would not let me take it to give to the homeless because of sanitary concerns. I tell them its way better than them picking it out the garbage they say dont care and company policy will not give permission. Its baffling in such an 'advanced' time we live in we can't resolve this simple issue of food waste and distribution.
