Day 52 – 8:32 AM – Tent City, South District, Bay City Settlement, Pasay City, Metro Manila
Early in the morning, a lot of people were lined up for the morning rations. Although it was just chicken flavored rice soup that really did not have chicken meat in it and only had vegetables that were dried and powdered in it, a lot of people still lined up for the food. No matter what, it was still something that they could eat to fill up their growling stomachs.
There were not a lot of varieties with the jobs in the settlement offered by the military. Most of jobs required hard labor or combat experience and as such, many people were not able to join, especially the old, women and children. For those that had family members that were hired by the military, they had enough to get by day after day. The others however, had to rely solely on the rations. For the women that were desperate, they would secretly offer themselves to those that were able to scavenge outside.
