Free newspaper for 2 poor kids

A communications student and a farmer in the Philippines were awarded by a one year free subscription to the Philippine daily Inquirer. The subscriptions were part of a promo named "22 Wishes" to commemorate the papers 22nd year in service.

While that might not mean much for most of the world, it is a very bog deal for some people in a country where poverty continues to be a major problem. The minimum wage in the country is just a little under $7 per day and yet, a big number of employees are said to be earning much less than that. And since a copy of a newspaper is about $0.50, a lot of people dispense with its purchase to be able to survive.
