Php500.00 = 28 USD

A lot of us Filipinos are over here racking our brains on how the Department of Trade and Industry in our country says that $28 is enough for a family of four to be able to serve decent meals.

Take note, this is for christmas eve up to christmas day itself. Most of the people in the world loves celebrating festivities especially Christmas or whatever it is called by other religions.

I'm curious and I wanna hear your thoughts and views from wherever you guys are if this is something that could really be done and how or if all of us who goes strongly against what they're saying are right to feel angered since we feel like all they want us to do is survive and not live a good life.
