I remembered we we're there when the volcano erupted. Traffic jam everywhere, some jeepneys fell down a cliff, everyone was telling their stories of how they got there (bus station). The sky looks like someone dropped a bomb, hours later it circulated from the sky, more hours passed and the sky was fricking red. Ash fell down and dirtied our clothes as we waited for vehicles that'll take us to our destination. N95 masks were sold out. Our lips had tiny cuts in them because we didn't wore any. We travelled 11 hours Batangas to Laguna. Overall it wasn't a pleasing experience.

We hurried off, went to the car and drove off but there was heavy traffic so we were moving so slow while the ashes were getting closer and closer to us.

*The Philippines capital is one of the most overpopulated places on earth.* There are few other areas where so many people live so closely together: On average there are 41,282 people per square kilometre, but in some slum regions there are as many as 88,000 people living per square kilometre.~ ~ Living place is becoming increasingly satuarated. This overcrowding is causing a range of problems such as pollution, deforestation, loss of wildlife, unemployment, malnutrition, clean drinking water shortages, and general poverty. ~ ~ Every day, 95 children in the Philippines die from malnutrition. Twenty-seven out of 1,000 Filipino children do not get past their fifth birthday. A third of Filipino children are stunted, or too short for their age. Stunting after 2 years of age can be permanent, irreversible and even fatal. According to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).

[@JD-jz5rr]

Watch South China Morning Post documentary about “Pagpag”. That is a common food eaten by poor people in Philippines. Pagpag is the Tagalog (Filipino) word for leftover food scavenged from garbage sites and dumps. The word “Pagpag” in the Tagalog language literally means "to shake off the dust or dirt", and refers to the act of shaking the dirt off of the edible portion of leftover food found in the trash. Pagpag can be either eaten immediately after it was found in the trash or cooked in variety of ways after collecting it. ~ The act of eating pagpag arises from the practical challenges of hunger that results from extreme poverty in the Philippines

[@JD-jz5rr]

Also Due to unemployment caused by overpopulation in the Philippines, Filipinos are forced to become cheap domestic servants and work like slaves in the rich Arab gulf countries like Qatar and Dubai. While I was in Dubai, I saw a Filipino maid who was struggling being forced to carry a child that was twice her size. I tried to explain to that child’s parents that their child is much bigger and heavier than their maid, so they shouldn’t force her to carry him. Then his parents just told me to mind my business.
