The photo stirred countless discussions and memes on social media. The woman, whom we have come to know as Rose, denied living in the sewage, but was nevertheless given P80,000 in aid by the Department of Social Welfare and Development . This sparked debates online on “who deserves the P80,000” given by the department.
Makati’s business district and areas like BGC in Taguig are considered “aesthetic” places. But the appeal of these centers is that of exclusion. One realization I had when I started working in Makati was that a large portion of people who populate the city were not residents but workers from adjacent cities. That it doesn’t take long to fill up buses going to Bicutan and Alabang is proof of it.
This is the same annoyance we express about the recipients of 4Ps, of government housing, and pandemic doleouts.
