Kaya naman ang handog ni Wilbert at Ahon Mahirap ay pangmatagalang solusyon sa kahirapan at hindi pagbibigay ng isang beses na ayuda lamang. Naniniwala kasi si Wilbert sa kasabihang - "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Ang Ahon Mahirap Partylist na isang adbokasiyang grupo, ay buong pagmamalaking ...
