Here in the Philippines, the real thing is still the proverbial “elephant in the room”. It’s the one thing that no one can really avoid talking about but that everyone (for one reason or another) chooses to ignore. Poverty. There are those who continue to refute the evidence before their very eyes and to deny it exists. There are others who claim that, if it is there, they just haven’t “noticed” it. And others still who insist that if nearly one third of the population lives in poverty it is (for obscure reasons they can’t explain) their “own fault”.
