The hunger problem is quite simple to solve that each of us who can afford and contribute and the govt can solve if we wish as FILIPINOS to do so. It is one kg of rice for a family of three.
That will solve the hunger problem. It is around PP50. per day or P1500 per month more or less.
The rice which is around PP40. per kg plus packaging and distribution costs should be averaging PP50. per kg. $1.20 if donated by our FILAM brothers and friends.
Basically... Cigarette or Starbucks, or Macdo funds? Isnt it?
There is an estimated 28 millions Filipinos who belong to the poorest of the poor, those who dont eat one, two or three meals a day. They are Filipinos who are basically jobless and therefore are often times hungry because they dont have money to buy food on a daily basis..They are Filipinos who sometimes become criminals...'
"Nagnakaw po ako dahil wala hong makain ang pamilya ko sa bahay?"
If there are 3 average members in a family, there are roughly 9,000,000 poorest of the poor families who are hungry. 9M families X PP50 per kg of rice. PP450M per day x 360 days expenditures. And the poorest of the poor, the national disgrace... is removed from the statistics..
Do we have such funds? I think so... The government has it. All it lacks is the political will to budget and buy the rice. The CTC is a start. Dont give them cash. They might not use if for the daily rice..
The govt should buy the RICE... repack it and distribute it thru the NGO's serving THE POOREST OF THE POOR..
Indivually in our own way, we can also alleviate the hunger of the poorest of the poor...
It is still cigarette, starbucks and Macdo money diverted to a better cause...
To remove a national shame..
