‘Read this and view the video, then count your blessings that you are living in Singapore,’ says STOMPer Devilmaycare, after he received this email yesterday about people in the Philippines queuing at restaurants for chicken and other bones.
Why? They would crush the bones into powder form and then use the powder as a soup base to ensure the family dinner has nutrition in it.
This Filipino practice was given international attention when a short film on it was screened at the Berlin International Film Festival. Although fictional, the film was based on real-life as Devilmaycare's friend witnessed such an occurrence in Cebu in the Philippines.
Here's what Devilmaycare's friend told him: "I went to Cebu a few years ago for a mission trip.
"Every night before 11pm when the fast food restaurants are about to close for business, you can see people from the slums gathering outside the restaurants to queue for leftover chicken and meat bones.
"These slum folk would crush the bones into small pieces or powder form which they use as a tasty soup base to feed the whole family."
