[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Only in the Philippines. Young boys walking streets during Holy Week and perform the act of flagellation.

First, a skin on the back is cut a little by a razor blade. Next, thousands of hits rips of the skin. Though rods are made of bamboo tree the number of whips makes the skin look like on the picture.

What a great subject!
Maybe a closer look to the "players" would have made the picture even more dramatic...

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW IT'S A GOOD ANGLE AS TIME AS YOU CAN SEE ALSO WHAT THE AUDIENCE IS "SAYING".
