A heartbreaking photo shows two soldiers sharing they canned food meal

News24xx.com - Time has passed after the start of the Marawi siege, and many Filipinos are still grieving for the lives lost.

Soldiers and civilians alike have suffered massively, and a few deaths has sent the entire nation into mourning.

While many have forgotten about it and moved on with their own lives, Filipino soldiers are continuing to defend our country, despite having little to nothing for supplies.


Many of these soldiers barely eat, as rations are slowly used up. In a photo shared by Facebook page Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa Supporters, two soldiers can be seen eating rice and canned corned beef on one rice pot cover.

Though they can be seen happily eating, the photo shows that they definitely don’t have enough food. They were eating in a rundown building, probably destroyed because of the ongoing fight between soldiers and the Maute group.


Netizens expressed their feelings towards many Filipino soldiers in general. The nation is once again ignoring the needs of soldiers who are literally sacrificing their lives to make sure ours are safe.


About 40 extremists are still holed up in Marawi, over 2 months after they attacked the city on March 23 and prompted a declaration of martial law over the entire Mindanao. The terrorists, he added, hold 80 to 100 captives, including Fr. Chito Suganob, who was recently sighted by several rescued hostages.

The battle for Marawi has killed at least 562 extremists, 45 civilians and 128 state troops.
