  • A member of the local church looks after a pot filled to the brim with food for handing out to the children.
  • Happy mothers smile as they receive medicines for their children that they can't afford under the normal circumstances of life in this village.
  • The pot simmers with food being prepared for the children.
  • Cats are abundant in the Philippines, and share that casual feline indifference known in cats of the rest of the world.
  • In addition to medicines for the families all the children present get a hot meal, and since there's not very many of them, they're fed quite well!
  • A young girl watches as her serving of soup is scooped up for her.
  • We have yet to encounter a Filipino, young or old, who isn't happy and smiling as we take their picture.
  • One shoe will have to do for this young boy. His crutch is a single staff of bamboo.
  • A few of the locals posed for a photo as we wrapped up and headed home for the day.
  • A young boy peers shyly around a corner as we make our way out of this village and back to our vehicle.
  • Who could help but capture this stare of indifference in passing?
  • A family sits on their front porch, enjoying some quiet in the hills of Antipolo.
  • Children play in the streets of Antipolo, enjoying life oblivious to their poverty.
  • A tricycle driver scans the road for potential customers.
  • A TV mounted outside this shop offers entertainment during a lull in the work for this gentleman.
  • Small alleyways offer interesting views of the cozy accommodations in most of these local homes. Just as I lined up this shot, a lone cat wandered in to be a subject.
  • A gnarled vine rises up directly out of the concrete sidewalk alongside the road.
  • Flower petals litter the gutters, a welcome difference from the man-made sort of litter.
  • What better place for a quick catnap than in the little shade offered by a motorcycle?
  • A Filipino with an impressive beard wanders by with a large load of cans on a rickety cart.
