         		 One busy day inside a crowded bus going to the place I was planning to visit, I can’t help but capture this rare moment.

    Whoever told you you cannot walk on water has never been to Bolinao. If you stand on the shore of Bolinao and watch people as they go about you'll realize that they were walking on water. The water is shallow up to about 100 meters from the shorline giving onlookers the impression that people were actually walking on water, making the sea one of miracles for those who choose to believe.

         		 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[691]
         		 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[669]
         		 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[645]

    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.

         		 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.

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[527]

         		 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[648]
         		 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.

    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.
