 MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Thousands  of Filipinos joined an international campaign to end global poverty Wednesday by  standing up and making a symbolic pledge in the world's most populous region,  where more than 640 million live on less than US$1 (?0.70) a day.



The  pledge in part rejects excuses that allow 50,000 people to die every day because  of extreme poverty and the growing gap between rich and poor. It urges  government leaders to save the lives of the poorest citizens, tackle inequality,  govern fairly, fight corruption and fulfill human rights.
