Cheap Labor

Leave a comment Posted by on August 29, 2013

Usual sight in the country is the ratio of the number of workers to the type of work or size of a business like 5 lads washing simultaneously a vehicle in a car wash shop, or the 8 employees inside each small cashier booth in Landmark Department Store, or the 4 household staff in a family of four, or the 7 staff inside a tiny cooked food stall in Makati known as jollijeep.

Paper Bus Tickets

Leave a comment Posted by on July 23, 2013

These are paper bus tickets used by city buses in Metro Manila and are issued manually by bus conductors by handing out the tickets to each passenger inside the bus in their seat or standing position. Imagine a bus conductor negotiating his way inside a full-packed standing bus just to hand the tickets.

Tickets glued in a cardboard as I’m keeping it.

Jollijeeps are situated in the side streets of Makati CBD. These stalls provide cheap but good meals for office employees.

Altar Flowers

2 Comments Posted by on April 30, 2012

Both sampaguita and everlasting flowers are commonly seen outside the cathedral being peddled by ambulant vendors. People buy these flowers to adorn their home altars or Santo (lei).

Everything is sampaguita flowers or sometimes at the bottom of the lei they would put camia or ylang-ylang.

everlasting
