Leave a comment Posted by Lana on September 7, 2013

Nothing is more accurate than to sell a liter of petrol with the use of softdrinks litro bottle.

Banana-cue/Banana-q

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on September 6, 2013

Somehow you’ll most likely come across somebody selling banana-cue whether it’s in commercial centers, offices, schools or in residential areas. This fried saba coated in caramelized sugar is such a popular snack countrywide.

Perhaps the skewer is the reason why it's called banana-cue

Deep frying saba and making sure that the caramelized brown sugar is well distributed

The Library Building

Five years ago, I took these monochrome pictures of the main library of University of the Philippines in Los Baños. This Locsin-designed structure is one of the beautiful reasons to walk around or run in the campus.

Cheap Labor

Leave a comment Posted by Lana 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.
