You wouldn’t think that Pinoys who own modern cell phones and i-pods would still use the banks of the Pasig River in Quiapo, Manila as a latrine. But they do.


Health Secretary Francisco Duque III revealed yesterday that around 5.6 million Filipino households still do not have their own toilet facilities, leaving them prone to health hazards and illnesses like diarrhea.
