Poverty strikes majority of Pinoys, and this does not exclude politicians. As we recently had our very first automated elections, we had changes in the government. The mayor of Ibaan, Batangas, Remegio “Reming” Hernandez, was formerly a kulambo (mosquito net) vendor, since he acquired the skill of weaving kulambo in his childhood. Now that he lost in the reelection for the mayoral position of Ibaan, he accepted his defeat, congratulated the newly elected mayor, and thanked Almighty God. This shows us that poverty is a very strong problem that is dealt with by more than half of the entire population.
