I never liked living in Quiapo. I despise it. Wholeheartedly. The noise, the filth, the foul smell. Quiapo slaps you hard with the picture of poverty, the picture of the reality of what is it like living in the Philippines.
On the other hand, living here brings humility. You see struggle on the faces of the people you meet on the street as they hope for a better tomorrow.
It also brings gratitude that I get to see both sides---I know how it is to live a comfortable life and I know how to live in poverty. Alhamdulillah for everything I have. Alhamdulillah for Quiapo.
