Squatter Settlement

These are two pictures that I took in Binh Thanh district, near My Phuoc apartment. As you see, people who are living in this area obviously are very poor. They all try very hard to earn money to make their life becomes better. But USUALLY, the money that they earn is just enough for them to live through a day. And if they don't, they would be die of hunger.
These people definitely don't have enough money to pay for a house like ours so that they just find a place whether it is good or bad for them, whether is is small o
As you know about the Estero de San Miguel, a slum in the capital Manila, there are 600 meters long for more than 600 families live either side of the river. The cage home of Philippines live is like a dark small tunnel which is less than four feet wide. It is the same as poor people in Viet Nam. They also live in a very very small cage, some of which contain two adults, teenagers and children.
