00:00We're here at Mang Urot's market in Quezon City, where we'll be doing a feeding program.

00:18Mang Urot's market is an open house feeding program for our fellow Filipinos, anyone is welcome here.

00:25And now it's my turn, we'll see how they do their project every Saturday to Sunday for more than 100 people.

00:33We'll be with Mang Urot and his volunteers to experience how they prepare their food and how they distribute it to their community.

00:44So teammates, come with us.

00:47In our special episode here on PTV Sports.

00:55We're here for the first part, preparing the ingredients.

01:16Mang Urot, what are we planning to feed our fellow Filipinos today?

01:21For today, we have Adobong Manok, we have Luncheon Meat, Ginisang Toge, and Dried Fish.

01:33That's what we'll be preparing for our homeless.

01:36That sounds delicious, Mang Urot. But our question is, when did all of this start?

01:41This soup kitchen started on May 5, 2012.

01:44The first week of May or last week of April, I saw two kids eating chicken that they got from the trash.

01:52That's what pushed me to start this soup kitchen.

01:57Now we're here with Mang Urot's volunteers and we'll accompany them to cook Adobo and Toge.

02:03You know, partner, we need the right timing for our food to be delicious.

02:08You're right, partner.

02:09As you can see behind me, there's a lot of dedication and hard work from Mang Urot's volunteers.

02:15And of course, they're not just preparing food.

02:18This is also their way to help their fellow Filipinos.

02:21And of course, we'll be joined by one of Mang Urot's volunteers, Sir Das Abaya.

02:28Sir Das, how are you? How long have you been a volunteer here?

02:31Since 2015, so I've been a volunteer for 9 years.

02:36That's a long time.

02:37But Sir, why did you decide to volunteer for Mang Urot?

02:42This is also my advocacy in life.

02:45At the same time, it's also a fulfillment or achievement that we're able to help our fellow Filipinos.

02:51Especially when we see them getting full and they're happy with what they're eating.

02:57That's nice.

02:58Now Sir Das, we'll accompany you to cut and prepare the food.

03:03Let's go.

03:34While they're cooking the food,

03:36we're accompanied by our guests who are waiting for the food that we're preparing for them.

03:42But you know what, Paulo?

03:43This is not just a simple house.

03:45Mang Urot's karenderia has already served as a home for those who want to join the community,

03:51especially on Christmas Eve.

03:53You're right, Sheila.

03:54Because you know, I know that all of our fellow Filipinos here are excited

03:58that we're waiting for their food that we're preparing for them

04:02with our hardworking volunteers.

04:05And of course, we're happy to be a part of this and we're one of those who are helping them.

04:28Mang Urot, what pushed you to preserve Mang Urot's karenderia?

04:48Late April 2012 or early May 2012, I was walking along Quezon Ave.

04:56When I saw a restaurant that sells fried chicken,

05:00I saw two small children eating fried chicken next to the trash bin.

05:06So my assumption was that they were retrieving the chicken from the trash bin.

05:12I couldn't believe it.

05:14The town is rich.

05:15Why do my fellow Filipinos need to eat what they pick up from the trash bin?

05:20That's what pushed me to start this.

05:22Tell us something about the name, Karenderia ni Mang Urot.

05:26What's the story behind it?

05:28The story behind it is a bit of a joke.

05:30Because in Subkitchen, there's no Tagalog translation for Subkitchen.

05:36So the easiest one is Karenderia.

05:39If my name is Karenderia ni Benji, it's not catchy.

05:43I'm just curious, Mang Urot.

05:45You were inspired by the chicken.

05:50What was your first step to put up this project?

05:56I thought about what I could do to reduce the amount of food that comes from the trash bin,

06:01at least in my community.

06:03I thought that I could only handle 20 to 30 persons.

06:07But by the grace of God, it grew.

06:10I couldn't stop it.

06:11There were donations.

06:12There were more people.

06:13But what pushed me was what I saw there, the two children.

06:18Like what I say to my family, treat everyone as family.

06:21I feel like if my children are the ones who eat from the trash bin,

06:25what should I do?

06:26That's what pushed me.

06:28How many people usually come to your house?

06:34It can only accommodate 36 people.

06:36Yes, 36.

06:38Outside, others eat.

06:39Usually, if it's not Christmas season, it's around 50 to 60.

06:42But as Christmas season approaches, more people come from the provinces.

06:47Like now, there are almost 120 people.

06:51So it's weekly, right?

06:53Saturdays and Sundays.

06:55We also have Saturdays and Sundays in Lotto.

06:58There are around 250 people.

07:00But our house is open 24 hours.

07:02The homeowners might steal the food that I feed them.

07:07So I was a bit hurt.

07:11And they say that it's a sanitary concern.

07:14It's not dirty for them.

07:16But when it comes to stealing,

07:18I said, of course, because it's hard.

07:20There are people who steal, there are people who steal from the streets.

07:22There are people who are hold-uppers, there are people who are snatchers.

07:25But I said, stealing is not a monopoly of the poor.

07:28If we are rich, there are also many people who steal from us.

07:32Professionals who don't issue receipts.

07:35Those who deal in corrupt practices.

07:37Even our so-called congressman or senator.

07:43Are we sure that their pockets are clean?

07:45So I said, don't tag them right away.

07:48Because it's hard to steal.

07:50Even if they steal, because they want to survive.

07:53Many rich people steal because they want to maintain their lifestyles.

07:57So when they saw that I was wearing a helmet to protect myself,

08:01I think they thought that it's hard to eat.

08:04Because I really love the poor.

08:06I really don't like these people.

08:08Of course, everyone is welcome here.

08:11But has there been a case where you noticed that they don't come here anymore

08:23because they are rich and don't need help anymore?

08:27Are there cases like that?

08:28There are, but only a few.

08:30Not even 1%.

08:31Because it's hard to inspire homeless people because they are used to that kind of life.

08:36That's why I say, if you want to inspire people,

08:39those who are in the squatters,

08:41because they still have a home to bring home.

08:43But the homeless, we tried to give them a place to live.

08:47Eventually, when the rain is over, they will be gone.

08:50So I treat them as an opportunity to do good.

08:53I don't expect anything from them.

08:55As long as they respect us, we will continue to support them.

09:02This is the last question for me.

09:04If one day you will be gone,

09:08what legacy do you want to leave?

09:11For those who are watching,

09:14treat everyone as family,

09:16especially the poor.

09:18We will receive our blessings if we will take care of ourselves.

09:22And how can we be a good example to our children

09:25if we are just saying that we want to help

09:29or we are just saying that we are good people.

09:33So I hope that the goodness that we are thinking of,

09:36we will turn it into action.

09:39So that even if we don't speak,

09:41people can see, especially our children,

09:44our family,

09:45and it will be a legacy,

09:47like a family tradition to be good to those in need.

09:52With your feeding program,

09:54how do you want other people then

09:57to be influenced with your kindness?

10:00Maybe, we are a Christian country.

10:03Maybe, almost every day,

10:05every Sunday,

10:06we hear it wherever we go to the church.

10:09Put it into action.

10:11So, it doesn't matter if my children go to a good school,

10:16but I don't become a good example.

10:18Like what I am saying,

10:20change is not in government,

10:21it has to start in the family.

10:23Our society, in my opinion,

10:27that's why it becomes corrupt.

10:28Because of failure of parenting,

10:30we should teach our children

10:33to be kind, good, and helpful,

10:36especially to our poor countrymen.

10:39What is your vision for the surrender of your children?

10:43How do you see this moving forward?

10:46My vision is written, it's simple.

10:48Our vision, our mission, our goal,

10:50is to feed the hungry.

10:52I don't think about anything else,

10:54but when someone is hungry in our group,

10:56let's feed him.

10:57And it starts there.

10:59And for the big projects,

11:01let's feed the hungry first.

11:03Like what they say,

11:05teach the fish,

11:07instead of giving the fish.

11:09The hungry will die,

11:10let's feed them first,

11:12and we start from there.

11:13Especially now,

11:14we know how much a spoonful of rice is.

11:18We really need to go out of our way

11:21and treat these poor people as family

11:23so that we don't have to help each other.

11:26Before our final message,

11:28I noticed that you have a lot of quotes on your wall.

11:32Can you tell us a little bit of a background about it?

11:36I know you're the one who wrote it.

11:38These are my favorite quotes.

11:39My favorite quotes are 30%.

11:4170% is what I do.

11:44Every time something comes to my mind,

11:46I put it there.

11:47But I make sure that these are valid and truthful.

11:51Because the schools also have an NSTP.

11:54I don't want them to see things that I cannot validate.

11:58It's like a freedom wall.

12:00What is your message to our viewers?

12:04Maybe they want to volunteer,

12:06or if there are viewers who want to visit

12:10to eat,

12:11what is your message to them?

12:13My message to the people,

12:15let's love our fellow citizens,

12:17especially the poor.

12:18Let's not steal,

12:20let's not take advantage,

12:21and let's not get sick.

12:23Especially if they only need food and water.

12:27It's that simple.

12:28We want to feed every hungry Filipino.

12:32Karinderian ni Mang Urot is on Facebook.

12:35My phone number is 0995-205-4282.

12:41But instead of us propagating the organization,

12:45I want the action to be propagated.

12:48If you can do this in your communities,

12:50it's better than coming here.

12:52I want every community to have Karinderian ni Mang Urot

12:56for the poor.

12:58And that's where our special episode of Karinderian ni Mang Urot ends.

13:02We saw how the Simple Feeding Program

13:05served as a mission of love and help to the poor.

13:08I am Lexie Zon.

13:10Not only during Christmas,

13:11but throughout the year,

13:12Mang Urot and his volunteers in every community

13:16have hope and love.

13:18I am Rafael Bandairel.

13:20Thank you very much, Mang Urot,

13:21and to your volunteers.

13:23I am Bernadette Tinoy.

13:25I hope this will serve as an inspiration for all of us.

13:28I am Daryl O'Clarex.

13:30Christmas is not just a day,

13:32but a year of love and care for each other.

13:35Let's start with a small step with a big effect.

13:39I am Sheila Salaizan.

13:40Because of that, let's get together again, teammates.

13:43I am Paulo Salamati.
