Hunger in the Philippines is NOT due to capitalism. Hunger massively declined in the Philippines due to capitalism.
Capitalism, i.e. the right to freely exchange, was restricted during the lockdown, with jeepney drivers, restaurant cashiers and almost every other sort of worker prohibited from going to work.
Had the fight against capitalism succeeded in the Philippines, the result would have been every bit as disastrous as it was in Venezuela.
