A mix of relief after a long day of fasting, and reverence in another moment of prayer, filled the air at the Manila Golden Mosque in Quiapo, Manila, when Rappler visited this iconic place of worship on Wednesday, March 20.

Jamil said their budget is P65 per meal for each of the 300 recipients of the free iftar. This means spending around P19,500 per night for the whole month of Ramadan. It is also a way to make Muslims understand the value of giving. “Sharing the iftar is very important because, aside from having helped others, you also gain a reward, like the reward of one who fasts,” said Jamil.
