PagPag: "This is food someone else has already eaten"

Manila is a mega city and one of the most crowded places on earth. With no safety net, poor people struggle to eke out a living with very little. 

Scavenging rubbish and selling plastic or metal that’s found in it is one option - but visiting London bus driver Josh is shocked to see that now even waste food is being recycled and sold to people with their full knowledge. 

It’s cheap and tastes good and for some poor people PagPag, as it’s called, is their only source of regular protein and may be their only meal of the day.
