PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Still in the Dumps

A group of children gather rubbish from a pile at the Payatas dumpsite in Quezon City. After Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila was “rehabilitated” during the term of former President Fidel V. Ramos, Payatas became known as the next main symbol of urban poverty in Metro Manila. A landslide resulting from hard rains claimed hundreds of lives in Payatas on July 10, 2000. It has been six years since the Payatas tragedy took place and justice has yet to be done to the victims – while many of their relatives are still there, still in the dumps.
