Poor kids present Aquino wish list

As Simbang Gabi (Midnight Masses) heralded commencement of Yuletide for many Filipinos on Tuesday, and with just eight days before Christmas, indigent children accompanied by their parents from Metro Metro’s urban poor communities belonging to anti-poverty groups Samahan ng Mamamayan-Zone One Tondo Organization (SM-ZOTO) and Kongreso ng Pagkakaisa ng Maralitang Lungsod (KPML) conveyed to President Benigno Aquino 3rd their Christmas wishes through carols and letters.

The groups bewailed that their families shall be celebrating a Paskong tuyo or a poor man’s Christmas for they could not afford even a decent Noche Buena (Christmas Eve meal) because of their low wages from contractual work.
