Hunger persists as Philippine economy grows

Britain is hosting an international summit aimed at addressing world hunger and malnutrition, which affect at least a billion people globally.

Some of them live in countries where the economy is rapidly growing, such as the Philippines, which recently posted a GDP growth of 7.8 percent.

But in the southern Philippine islands of Tawi-Tawi, that growth has only highlighted the widening gap between rich and poor.
