         		 Performers line up on the street early in the afternoon, rehearsing the final performance before the 'Sinulog ng Kabataan, an annual festival in cebu performed by children to honor the infant jesus, begins. : by seed_ifferent, Views[326]
         		 Upon seeing the cameras, these two young ladies stopped what they were doing and gamely posed. It’s not everyday that strangers come to visit them and it must have been a novel experience for them. Despite the extreme poverty they’re in, these people know how to find joy in the little things. : by ephesians210, Views[799]
     
    A young boy takes a break from working and takes a moment to eat soup. He seemed famished after working for so long that he finished his soup immediately. For most of us, the idea of eating in the middle of a giant mountain of trash might be unthinkable, but he didn’t seem to mind. : by ephesians210, Views[784]
         		 This little girl is named Marilyn. She followed us as we took photos of the area and she keeps on signaling for us to take her picture. It must have been exciting for her to see a lot of photographers coming to visit them. : by ephesians210, Views[805]
         		 These photos were taken in
         		 This little boy is one of the residents of the area. We found him walking aimlessly together with some other children who are probably as young as he was. We didn’t know where his parents were. I felt ashamed to be standing there with protective boots to keep my feet dry and clean while he stood there almost naked and barefoot, completely vulnerable to harmful substances. : by ephesians210, Views[1335]
         		 Priests are still highly revered in the Philippines, and are considered the voice of God. Children are hoisted on their fathers' shoulders, along with rosaries, leaflets, and other religious artefacts to receive the final blessing after the mass. Items blessed by priests are believed to improve the lives of their owner. Outside, the market continues to thrive: the merchants struggle to make a few bucks selling superstitous items to unwitting parishioners hoping for a bit of luck.: by cysabela, Views[681]
     
    A young mother thoughtfully reads the label on a bundle of colorful candles, which are said to represent the wishes that will come true when the candles are lit.
         		 The smoke rising in languid curls into the air keeping him company, a Sampaguita (Jasmine flower) vendor battles fatigue with a stick of cigarrette while he waits at the back of the crowd for the chruchgoers to disperse. Most Filipinos treat their religious statues as human, which is believed to bring the owners luck: dressing them in elaborate clothing and sometimes offering food. Sampaguita necklaces are used to adorn religious statues' necks. : by cysabela, Views[713]
         		 Unable to enter the packed church, some groups stay out on the street to hear mass. Merchants, oblivious to the ongoing mass, compete with the priest for their attention. A young boy turns away from his family and abandons listening to the sermon to gleefully play with the bubbles drifting temptingly in front of him.: by cysabela, Views[730]
         		 Quiapo Church, Manila: the cacophony of people praying, children laughing, and merchants shouting permeate the scene as devotees of the Black Nazarene--the statue of which is believed to be miraculous--flock to the church to participate in the Sunday mass. In a country riddled with poverty, citizens cling onto any hope, divine or otherwise, for a better life.: by cysabela, Views[2007]

         		 Edgar sits dazed on a makeshift hammock after a long day of work. His father has fallen ill and is no longer able to work in the dumpsite. Since then, Edgar stopped going to school to help his mother earn a living. He dreams of becoming a seaman to lift his family out of poverty. : by atomaraullo, Views[370]
     
    Rosario clutches the main weapon of her trade: a short hook known as a “kalahig”. With this tool, she digs around the rubbish and collects items that she can resell. : by atomaraullo, Views[695]
         		 Scavengers line up beside a dump truck which is about to empty its contents. Competition is intense to collect the best items in the tons of waste disposed here every day. Conditions are dangerous and very unsanitary. The decomposing biomass attracts many flies. : by atomaraullo, Views[436]
         		 Armed guards stand watch over an open dumpsite in Rodriguez, Rizal. The disposal of solid waste is big business in the Philippines, with many politicians squabbling over rights to maintain landfills such as this one. The dumpsites attract many scavengers who look for plastics, metals, and other items that can be resold in junkshops. : by atomaraullo, Views[821]
         		 Rosario and her 15 year-old son Edgar prepare for another day at work in an open dumpsite in Rodriguez, Rizal. The tandem makes around 40 pesos a day (1 USD) scavenging for items among mountains of rubbish. This is the only source of income for many living in this community.: by atomaraullo, Views[507]
