Well, US may still considered lucky compare to us living in third world. Fifty million in US alone? That's not the worst, how about 63.2% of Philippines' population living under $5.5 per day (as of 2015)? Though I'm not experiencing a total poverty, I can feel their suffering. For me the definition of "poor" in US was very different here, it is more severe. If few bucks there can already buy you a decent meal then here it is already the money which a poor man can only earn to sustain the daily needs of his family for this whole day.
So true. One of the best examples I can show is Makati ~ The Financial Capital of the Philippines.



Sounds promising huh but in reality there's a sad truth behind these buildings which we can't deny,
