Ang ironic, di ba? The less money you have, the more expensive life becomes. It sounds counterintuitive, but this is the harsh reality for many Filipinos.

Everyday expenses like healthcare, housing, transportation, and even food cost more for those who are struggling financially. And the worst part? These costs trap people in a cycle of poverty.
