Guitar Man

Guitar Man

Guitar Man. This man is just one of many traders in Cebu’s thriving guitar industry. Cebu is famous for its fine, often elegant guitars which could rival some of the world’s best. Because of this, Cebu’s guitar stores tend to draw in tourists – both local and foreign. This guitar dealer tries to demonstrate not only the quality of his wares but also his guitar-playing skills – which, in the end, could make people more interested in what he is selling.

Amid the Noise

Amid the Noise

Amid the Noise. Amid the blare of horns and the roars of vehicle engines, a man lies under a tree along Taft Avenue, his sleep apparently uninterrupted. He does not seem to particularly mind that the place he has chosen is one of the busiest streets in Manila, a street that does not lose its noise even in the deepest hours of the night.

Coming to Light


Coming to Light The day breaks elegantly upon a spot in Limay, Bataan that used to be part of a military camp.

This scene however could also be taken to symbolize the event in which so many horrors are now being exposed to the light of day. (Photo by Raymund Villanueva/Bulatlat.com)

‘Tong’ Collection?


'Tong' Collection? A taxi driver scratches the back of his head as he is accosted by policemen, who search his vehicle. The policemen do not seem to have anything on him but they search the taxi through and through. From the looks of it, this is a kotong (extortion) operation -- a favorite activity of policemen assigned to traffic duty. (Photo by Ace Alegre/Bulatlat.com)

Enchanted Kingdom

Enchanted Kingdom


Enchanted Kingdom. Philippine president Gloria Arroyo once boasted she will turn our country into an "Enchanted Kingdom." If a story should be written about it, it should begin with "Once upon a time, in an abjectly poor country ruled by an evil and corrupt witch..." (Photo by Raymund Villanueva)

Family Trip

Family Trip


That a motorcycle can carry this many people at once is hard to imagine, but this family seems to have succeeded in pulling it off. Thus far they seem to be having a smooth ride and children are evidently exhilarated at getting to ride with their parents, even as their position calls for extra cautiousness.
