S87 E9: The Stolen Birthright

Published 2 weeks ago
Description
In this episode of Stories Philippines, we unravel a haunting tale that goes beyond the surface of a food crisis. When onion prices soared to shocking heights in the Philippines, it wasn’t just about economics — it was about power, corruption, and the human cost hidden behind cold storage doors and market shelves. Through the eyes of farmers struggling to survive and magnates caught in the web of their own making, this story explores how hunger becomes a weapon and a haunting question lingers: Why is my child hungry?


Join us as we explore this true crime story wrapped in folklore and psychological distress. It’s a story of greed, loss, and the quiet suffering that echoes through fields, warehouses, and homes. This episode touches on themes of hunger, corruption, death, and the emotional toll on those caught in the supply chain’s darker side.
