OF THE WEEK

Raking
In for Fun
Notice the
pile of fun cards (known in the Philippines as “teks”) held by the
boy in orange shirt. No, he didn’t amass all of them over a period of
several years. He won all – yes, all of them – in just one hour, during a
game in which he got extremely lucky. The cards on his shirt are not all
that he won: see his playmates handing him piles more. If it were a game
that involved big stakes, the boy and his family would have been out of
the Parola compound in an instant – and far from the poverty that afflicts
the said community in Tondo, Manila.
