OFFLINE

A jobless old man lies on a sidewalk beside the ATM machine of a bank in the sleepy town of Daraga, Albay, several kilometers south of Manila. Albay, noted for Mayon Volcano, is a province where the coconut industry continues to fall rendering thousands of farmers without enough income. The snapshot captures poverty and desperation in a supposed land of plenty.
