OF THE WEEK
Starting Them Young
Gambling appears to be
part of life for many people in the Philippines, a country where life has
for the most part been harsh enough to make not a few turn to luck and
chance for hope. In some areas people are “initiated” into various games
of chance early on in life. Just like these children photographed during a
feast in San Juan, Ilocos Sur, playing beto-beto (a dice-roll
betting game) with an elderly townswoman. This early in their lives, they
have been led into the workings of a culture that looks to chance for hope
of a sudden change in fortune.
