Ever wonder what happens to restaurant leftovers?
In the Philippine capital, Manila, meat is recycled from landfill tips, washed and re-cooked. It’s called “pagpag” and it’s eaten by the poorest people who can’t afford to buy fresh meat.
Warning: You may wish to skip this one if you have a delicate disposition.

What the video doesn’t tell you is that the man speaking at the end uses the term ‘po’ consistently. It is a term to show respect, and it is quite a hassle- he doesn’t need to, but he does. Even though he may not have the most comfortable life, he’s still being respectful towards the film crew.
Went in this area for our immersion at AROMA where you can smell all sorts of things and Happyland whare everyone seems to be happy and Tuberculosis treatment center. This recycled food shacks are common sight here and they look delicious and cheap.
Bruh that's garbage
Looks better than my failed kraft mac and cheese lol
I am an filipino,i have eaten pagpag for over 2 years as an child.Because of our poverty rate is high(Also in 1989 maybe of that date ferdinand marcus ruled the phillipines like an dictator.Once the people power overthrown EDSA streets,ferdinand marcus go to with an helicopter and his wife the our national bank and stole 8 Billiion pesos and fleed to Hawai
And thats why we have high poverty rate.)

This is why i don't waste food. My eye twitches when i eat at buffets with my cousins because of how wasteful they are. Why get 5 pieces of sushi when you're gonna eat only 2-3 pieces?
I rather eat pagpag rather than bat soap
I don't think it's just poverty. Its like a cultural thing from India to Philippines and everything in between to be filthy and nasty in a gross out kind of way no offense
Oh! My god
Bless the world
Harsh reality, I first these types of "recooking" in Bangladesh, mainly street foods in poor neighborhoods. Pathetic governments and politicians can't even provide food to these people for survival.
Damn Philippines do know how to make trash into good lookin food like take a look at 2:59
I hate this video because i love phillipines IS NOT BAD COUNTRY
Capitalism works !
As a Filipino, i never experienced this but seeing the other part, this makes me sad, poverty is the main problem, but what is the solution?
For other nationality don't judge them eating pag pag, its hard to find money here so appreciate what you have..
This is why the Coronavirus starts in countries like these. Filthy disgusting ungodly people.
That is just sad
How are you feeling about your ex-colony, United Statesians? You never paid for reparation to Philipines or any countries you've exploited over the years. The guys like the one in the video and their sons are the ones who still pay for the sins of your ancestors.
This is still better that bat soup shit
And here i am waiting for my Iphone 11 pro in one week cuz i didnt like the Iphone 11. I am dumb ass fuck
Poverty sucks, this is sad.
'clean pagpag' is equivalent to 'clean coal'
Pathetic
african kids : "FOOD IS FOOD !"
Well I mean if this is all You have I would be grateful with this
If the PagPag is clean and tasty then this is a good use of food waste instead of leaving it to rot
This is where diseases come from. Like coronavirus.
I just want to say that while this is legit, most of us are not like this. Not at all. I just hope the foreign media doesn't show us as garbage eaters as a some sort of generalization. I just want to clear everything out.
