Where PDAF Fears to Tread

Poverty is a widespread problem in the Philippines; 22 per cent of the population live way, way, way below under the breadline. And yet is not given the priority it needed.
The corrupt and greedy have got their noses in the pork trough while the poor have scraps to live on
This must change with the increasing revelations about the Pork Barrel PDAF scandal.

Money is there but not distributed fairly as we have learned from the Janet & Jeane Napoles scandal. We have also learned that they spend monies into non-priority projects like that of Luneta Flagpole costing several millions of pesos.

Until community leaders, senators, congressmen and the president of the Philippines think of the people first rather than themselves and their status, there is no way out from this worsening condition of indigence.

The film delivers what it meant to do in such a big way. It does not patronise poverty but rather shows a clear indictment of how living under the breadline is all about. There are no tears, no sadness but of stoicism, laughter and acceptance which made the film/situation more heartbreaking.
