Tondo is a district of Manila, Philippines, and one of the most densely populated areas of land in the country. It is known for being one of the poorest and most underdeveloped districts of the Philippines. Many of the city's slums are found in this area. I visited the area in 2010 and was taken by the presence of children and smiling families on the streets of this impoverished area.

Story

Tondo is a district of Manila, Philippines, and one of the most densely populated areas of land in the country.
It is known for being one of the poorest and most underdeveloped districts of the Philippines. Many of the city's slums are found in this area.
I visited the area in 2010 and was taken by the presence of so many children and smiling families on the streets of this impoverished area. The Filipinos with their strict Christian beliefs do not believe in contraception, hence the abundance of children in the slums.
