30 to 40 % live in extreme poverty.
Picture this; United Nations reported that the daily cost of living
of people in this community is only a dollar and 25 cents – that’s roughly 50 Philippine pesos.
With that amount of money, how can they have decent food and shelter,
education and health for the children, and maternal care for the mothers?
This is the real situation, and it’s not just happening here in the Philippines, but also in other developing nations.
I am encouraging the world leaders who will be joining the UN Millennium Development Goals Summit in New York
to please fulfill your promise to end poverty
and for all citizens to stand up and take action in monitoring the implementations of the MDGs in your respective countries.
Let's do our part and let's make poverty a history
