Description
A Filipina brown-skinned child who takes care of her younger sister is sitting on an improvised and old wooden chair in front of a store on one of the sidewalks in Tondo, Manila. The girl is waiting for a left-over food for her sister from the owner of the mini-store. It can be observed that number of families on the poverty level increases each year. Emergence of shanties all over Metro Manila is considered to be a big problem ever since. (date: 2005-01-14)
