Young girl walking by a mausoleum in Manila South Cemetery.
In the Philippines, particularly in densely populated cities like Manila, thousands of impoverished families reside within cemeteries. This phenomenon stems primarily from severe poverty, lack of affordable housing, and internal migration. Many arrive seeking work as grave caretakers, masons, or vendors, eventually building makeshift homes on or within mausoleums. Conditions are often dire, lacking basic sanitation, clean water, and electricity, yet cemeteries offer a semblance of free shelter and livelihood opportunities for those with nowhere else to go.
Large and longer thunder storm over Makati city, but the 2 cranes opposite just carried on working working throughout, I would not like to be the operator on one of those.

Shot on film (fuji C200) with a pentax Mz-7 + DA 50mm, edited in lightroom. I did a digital capture of this image and it was sharper and cleaner, but somehow the film managed to capture more colours.
Night Rain and Dystopia in Futuristic Makati
Why is the future always portrayed as a bleak and dismal dystopia? Perhaps it's because the fear of darkness and chaos appeals to our primal instincts. Yet our hearts yearn for something more beautiful. A city where the warm, golden light illuminates the cobblestone streets, the soft echo of footsteps, and the promise of hidden cafes that invite you to discover their secrets. A place where you can walk hand in hand with your beloved, without a shadow of fear or doubt. A world where love, art, and beauty reign supreme, and where the soul can find shelter from the storms of life.
