smiles behind poverty it has been unique to the filipinos to smile even under crisis......but when we go beyond that smile is the sadness of being victim of poverty..

in the picture a child eating a green banana the most affordable banana in the philippines. and has been becoming the food of the poor here..

i took the shot after a very tired exam in school

Happy scene, I Wish things could clean up in the Philippines, And very nice note! So true, The People and Culture is amazing, Some of the happiest people i have met in the world, my friends, are dirt poor farmers! Did you know on a Global Hospitality survey in late 2005, the Philippines ranked 1st in Asia!! At least thats true.

Corruption is a major issue, At my Province in Marinduque and many other area's it is very obvious things are shady, I think it's also the mentality of the corrupt person, Many Government official's abuse there role and responsibility, A Neighbour of ours is not in the "good books" with the Mayor, And he is possibly being deported out of his house and property (he is swedish, and a friend). this whole problem should be stopped, and enforced. it is bringing the country into more of a mess than it already is with it going on!

PHILIPPINES WAKE UP!

Back to the photo, Nice way you went with it, The colours and happy child are great, Im not too sure about the fish-eye, but it adds an intresting effect, well i like it!

Thanks for sharing!
salamat po!

Hi Dustein,

Holy smoke! How many bananas did he eat? :)

I don't know what you did with the PP. It looks unnatural, yet at the same time fits the image very well.

Best regards,
Lamberto
