Pagkain ng Pinoy

You may call these leftovers “trash,” but to others, these “pagpag” or “recycled food” are their “meal of the day.” 

Pagpag, which means “dusted off food,” are leftovers from fast-food restaurants, scavenged from garbage sites, cleaned and re-cooked as a meal for the poor people.

Watch Meal of the Day, a short documentary by Filippino filmmaker Giselle Santos documenting the people behind the production and consumption of pagpag.
