This place is like nowhere I’ve ever been before…
http://www.vimeo.com/5259090It’s one of the many extreme poverty-stricken areas in the Philippines. It was just a real harrowing place to be.
Take a look at the photos below…
The concrete blocks that you see are graves. The ones that remain hollow are yet to be filled. Families rent these plots for 5 years. It’s just so sad.
They can’t bury people under ground because of the high contamination risk. It’s so rainy here, the graves in the ground would just turn to water…
This photo shows a block that’s been filled, if you look really closely you’ll see that some of these graves are filled with babies bodies, some only a day or two old.

It’s like another reality here. Kids have no qualms about playing on the graves…

This area is one of BALUTI’s main targets, as it’s a hotspot for casual sex and drug taking…












OMG !!!! =( Its sooo sad …..
Wow. I am truly speechless. I thought some of the hoods that I have lived in/rolled through were terrible, but this….. NO WORDS!
wow. i didn’t realize places like this even existed. it’s sobering.
I’m just speechless… one of my friends lives in the Phillipines and I had no idea any of it was like this.
