PHOTO
OF THE WEEK
Season of Want
The boy looks back as
father, a caneworker, takes him along to Bacolod City, capital of Negros
Occidental, a province in central Philippines. They were photographed
while on their way to the office of the provincial governor to demand food
and farm supplies. It is tiempo muerto (dead season) – the
off-milling season, once again, and there is no work in the haciendas
and mills. Sugar workers go hungry during tiempo muerto,
forcing tj\hem to either move to urban areas, coastal villages, and
neighboring islands to look for work or head for the provincial government
– as do this caneworker and his son – to protest neglect of their plight
and demand immediate relief.
