Why it still remains popular for families themselves to take care of their elderly at their homes, rather than allowing total strangers to put them in... what amounted to animal-like conditions?

In case anyone wonders why "retirement plan ng magulang" is a thing in the PH, this is it. Retirement homes are simply not available for poor people. Rain Tree costs like a million annually, double if you're a couple. If you don't have that money, this is your only option. Wala naman assisted suicide dito, lilipad ka pa sa Switzerland and kahit yun may process at magastos.
