PHOTO
OF THE WEEK

Firewood in Tobacco Country
The Ilocos region –
tobacco country - in northern Philippines is known for its sturdy and
hard-working people. And not without reason: In the photo, for a few pesos
boys unload a jeepful of firewood in Vigan, capital city of Ilocos Sur 407
kms north of Manila for use by consumers especially cottage industries
like makers of longaniza (native sausage), bibingka (rice
cake) and the like. As prices of liquefied petroleum keep on shooting up,
firewood comes in handy – never mind if it can also contrbute to forest
degradation and environmental disaster.
