Layers of labor, fragile mountains of hope. Yearly struggles, granules of predicament restored. Monsoons pound, Typhoons destroy. Faith reminds us, and circumstances move on. When the season blinks, re-sing the songs, of altered lives within uncertain structures. Photographed in Tondo, Manila Philippines, just days before Typhoon Ondoy struck. Once known as the "Kingdom of Tondo" it is one of the oldest and historic areas of country. The township also has the highest density of generational poverty in the capital city.
