Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Who needs Gcash when I have D-Lata

'World's richest beggar': Indian man has P49.8 million net worth thanks to begging

Bharat Jain of Mumbai makes 60,000 to 75,000 rupees (P39,000 to P49,000) monthly, thanks to the kindhearted denizens of the financial capital. This translates to a daily income of 2,000 to 2,500 rupees (P1,300 to P1,600).

Mans playing life on hardmode... And winning.

Bharat didn't get the chance to have formal education due to his financial status. He, however, got married and had two sons, whom he was able to send to school—and graduate—no problemo.

At least hindi ginastos sa pagsusugal.

His 10 to 12 hours of hustle every day along Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and Azad Maidan sports ground allowed him to purchase a two-bedroom flat worth 12 million rupees (P7.9 million), as well as two stationary stores that he rents out for 30,000 rupees (P19,900) per month.

Biznezz minded si kuya.

Despite enjoying an already comfortable life—all while building his real-estate portfolio—Bharat's mendicancy work goes on, against the wishes of his loved ones.

It would've been funnier kung penny pincher sya tapos Bharat pa talaga pangalan nya lmao.
