    This kid was bathing himself in a pale of water while watching his mom clean the house. He was so happy in it. Scattering water everywhere, same as one would do when in the beach. Such simple means of happiness.: by fredsalaysay, Views[309]

         		 Street children hitch a free ride in one of the jeepneys in Manila. This image is particularly catchy because of the way the light falls on the kid's face. : by fredsalaysay, Views[400]

         		 And to survive, people worked the land. (On the way to Subic, Zambales, Philippines): by ylana84, Views[691]
         		 In the beginning there was nature. (Subic Bay, Zambales, Philippines): by ylana84, Views[768]
         		 Heir to the jeepney as ¨king of the Philippine road¨ are tricycles, which are quite similar to the tuktuks of Thailand. Some tricycles, like the one in the picture, could accommodate --- sardine-in-a-can-like --- eight passengers. Here, the driver takes a power nap in his cab, under the blistering heat of the sun --- this is truly a life on the road.: by enplim, Views[1456]
         		 View from the jeepney´s cockpit. Note that the jeepney´s body design is taken from the American military jeep, its engine and parts are taken from discarded Japanese trucks, and its interiors are adorned with religious images --- influences from nations that occupied the Philippines in the past. (Spain, US, and Japan): by enplim, Views[1347]
     
    Passengers of all ages climb aboard the jeepney. The woman wearing a hat, standing behind the jeepney doubles as a fare collector and a barker. : by enplim, Views[654]
         		 Waiting for the next trip, passengers at a jeepney station lull the afternoon away, chatting with each other. Not all stations are equipped with benches, sunshades, and security guards, such as this one. : by enplim, Views[426]
         		 The iconic jeepney waiting for its turn at a station in Metro Manila, Philippines. While already worn-out and not as shiny as the one behind it, its bold colors signify that it is still willing to take on the challenges of the road for many years to come. : by enplim, Views[585]
         		 In those Bare Hands - The Builders: My project started when I saw an on-going construction site just across the boarding house I was staying in Manila. I've been watching the development of the building and all starting from the labors of those workers in the beam. Just like photography, I thought, everybody begins in manual labor -- and its never easy with bare hands.: by laquaciera, Views[529]
         		 Never Alone - Help is Here: So I thought of developing my project in describing how scapes are develop. Living in a developing landscape, I have been lucky to see how a mall is being constructed. This time its in Caloocan City, where I grew up and saw bunch of mango trees before it became urbanized. It was, indeed, a huge project that lots of cranes and big boulders were present in the site. The form of the mall, however, was patterned not after the movements of these machines. As a camera to his photographer, these cranes were used as tools to create the vision for that local mall.: by laquaciera, Views[378]
     
    Commitment and Hardwork - Widening: The mall project has been on-going for a few months before my project came about. A lot has changed and this time I learned that details were included while the other side of the building was still formed. I really liked that moment because translating it to my experience in photography, an enthusiast is a work in progress. Knowledge of details is there, and perhaps several techniques, but a lot of work still needs to be done and further refined. : by laquaciera, Views[713]
         		 Soon At Its end - Construction: On my way to work, I am a full-time researcher to date in Quezon City, I looked across and saw a construction site being developed. I learned it was mostly composed of condominiums since it was near a booming commercial area. It was almost complete, seems to me just adding a few touches to perfect the scape. If I were to look at myself, I look forward on that day where I can confidently say I am beyond an enthusiast, where my skills have been honed to achieve that vision of a competent photoscapes artist. Never close to perfection, though, as improvement and learning makes the art of shooting enjoyable with my projects at hand.: by laquaciera, Views[580]
         		 Happy faces after receiving their schoolkit gift. After this event I realized that we may have different languages, dialects, colors, beliefs etc. as long as we are united and connected we are the same and equal coz we share the same true religion and language called Love. Im happy doing this as much as I love traveling and photography.: by earlryanj, Views[665]
         		 A curious faces of grade schoolers. they were gathered by their parents to recieve their gift, they were not sure what we were going to do since we have different dialects, they didn't understand what we were saying. only some of thier parents knows our dialect. : by earlryanj, Views[486]
         		 A shy Matigsalug kids, one is chewing some lollipop which is given by my fellow mountaineer.: by earlryanj, Views[544]
     
    A Matigsalug tribe kids enjoying the show prepared by my friend. Seems like it's their first time watching a movie. There's no electricity and phone signal in this area. : by earlryanj, Views[1300]
         		 A magical thousands of fireflies surrounding a tree, looks like a series light Christmas decor. Under this tree is a tribal house were we took some rest. : by earlryanj, Views[1137]
         		 A mini chapel situated in a village in Catanduanes. Religion plays a big part in the life of people in the island. Every village has its own chapel or church no matter how big or small it is.: by brttrab, Views[8220]
         		 Apart from seaweeds and starfish along the seashore, a snake skin is not an ordinary sight.: by brttrab, Views[4242]
         		 After school hours, kids usually swim in the sea. This time I saw children playing in a tree along the beach. : by brttrab, Views[3462]
     
    Fishermen prepare their net and their small boat before fishing. Fishing is the primary source of income in the island.: by brttrab, Views[3286]
         		 A view of the famous Puraran beach in Catanduanes. Surfers come in the island especially during rainy season from June to October when the waves are big to experience surfing in Bicol region’s famous surfing haven.: by brttrab, Views[3020]
         		 Ifugaos, residents of the Banaue and Batad rice terraces are primarily farmers.
         		 Tourists join the Ifugao in their tribal dance, with companions photographing the moment. The motions are simple, focusing on out-stretched arms and steps with knee bending. But watching the Ifugaos do it show also the low bend of the knees. Quite tiring, but to people used to climbing these rice terraces of Banaue,: by jsanjuan, Views[746]
         		 beautiful locations always call to tourists, and tourists will always needs lodgings and accommodations, even in the most rural areas. The inn is one of many that have sprung up to accommodate tourists on the steep mountainside. But it has allowed the community to develop from basic huts made of wood to houses and buildings of concrete and steel.: by jsanjuan, Views[512]
     
    Walking on the rocks that create the terraces' steps - tourists traverse the steep steps and slim paths. A different experience from this distant view. from afar. It is also a challenge to the legs, given the distance and incline. But it is easy work to local Ifugaos who walk the paths daily to work on their rice fields.: by jsanjuan, Views[606]
         		 Signage detail the history of the Ifugao rice terraces, but a sign for a job opening also shows the financial opportunities for such areas frequented by tourists. Though tourism creates business opportunities, the practices of the old traditions might not be of interest to the young locals. Restaurant cooks and waiters, tour guides, or even souvenir vendors have more appeal.: by jsanjuan, Views[964]

         		 When you've had a fill of the town's charms, take a brief pause and let the magic hour step in.: by simplyserica, Views[839]
     
    On trails of Spanish influences, step into a bygone era at the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Concepcion. It was built in the 19th century, a time when cement wasn't around yet. Instead they used egg yolks for its construction. A congregation was in the middle of a mass at the hour of my visit, its interiors undeniably well-lit.
         		 Individual grains of rice grow to create a commodity that has become the life-force of the Ifugao people for generations. : by michal, Views[647]
         		 The elderly men who are no longer physically able to work in the paddies stay home watching children, roasting papuy(rice wine), and preparing meats for the feast. : by michal, Views[396]
         		 Rice in the Ifugao is planted and harvested by hand. Men carry the ~60kilo load over their shoulder and hike barefoot back to their homes. : by michal, Views[441]
         		 Traditional Ifugao huts are constructed without nails and are sturdy enough to withstand the impact of an earthquake. Each family in the region will have designated terrace paddies that have been handed down from generation to generation.: by michal, Views[590]
     
    The village of Batad, surrounded by terraced mountain ranges, can only be accessed by foot. What little electric is used here comes from gas generators.: by michal, Views[395]
