The best spot in the Philippines

Pagpag the most exotic food in the Philippines

Today we are talking about a unique food in the Philippines called Pagpag. It is a food that people have thrown away and the poor pick it up to make it into food again.

They pick it up from the garbage to become food and also sell it to other poor people who can’t afford expensive food.

Food made by trash

You will see a lot of this in the Philippines, especially if you go to the poor areas of the country, you would think that the food thrown in the trash can be eaten.

If you are not used to eating food like this, you will really hate it. But for the poor, it is the most special for them because they can eat every day, without going hungry.

What is Pagpag

They get it from popular local fast food in the Philippines like Jollibee, Inasal, Restaurants and many others. They wash it well to get rid of food bacteria and cook it again and season it to make more delicious.

If you grew up in a rich family, you will surely vomit when you see it, but to them it is a delicious food, but let’s not judge people because of what they eat, because like us they are just human too looking for food The only difference is that their livelihood is very difficult and they earn very little on a daily basis. They are looking for ways to feed their family.

Even if they only eat like this you will see them very happy, They don’t hate it but they call it a blessing, because it helps them to live and eat.

Many Filipinos make a living from (Pagpag) that comes from fast food in the country, Many still eat it to this day.

In which place do many people eat Pagpag.

• Tondo – 95%
• Luzon provinces – 3%
• Visayas – 2%
• Mindanao – 2%

If you think about it, many people eat it even in different places in the Philippines. We cannot blame them because of the difficult weather in the area and the price of goods that the poor cannot afford.

I have posted so many beautiful views of the Philippines and islands in my blogs. On my page I did not include the poverty in the country, here you will know the poverty of the people behind the popularity of the Philippines.

With so many big buildings, malls and parks in the area, there is a hidden hardship that is less visible on social media.

Even if the food they pick from the garbage is dirty and spoiled, people who have nothing to eat will still appreciate it.

Due to hunger, Pagpag became a comfort food for people living in poor areas.

How to avoid extreme poverty in the Philippines

• Poverty can be controlled when there are only one or two children.
• Study hard and achieve your dream.
• Work
• Find a business
• Farming

There are so many other ways you can do to avoid hardship in life. It is a trend in this country to have many children, it reaches more than 12 children. Those who have many children are the poor.

I know a family whose child reaches 16 but they are poor. I see them who really do not eat well, because they have nothing to eat so my mom gave them a banana just so they have something to eat.

We are not rich but we have farms to source our food, we share it with them so they can eat.

If you see them in person while looking for something to eat in the garbage and they turn it into Pagpag, feel sorry for them. In all my life I have never eaten garbage from other people, I thank God every day because we can eat clean food.

If you have many regrets in your life, look at people who have nothing to eat and you will see that they are still happy.

If you are tired and don’t want to live anymore try living in a difficult place, so you can see and compare yourself how lucky you are in your life.

What can Pagpag do to the body?

Many people who eat Pagpag get sick and eventually die because of the diseases they get from picking leftover food from the trash.
