My guides brought me all the way out on the piers to this house with a great view of the bay. Many people, young and old, are employed as bicycle drivers in Navotas. Child labor also prevents many young from gaining the education they need. Sanitation has improved but health problems remain, particularly in the rainy season when there is frequent flooding. Some of the children where I lived with my second family.
Many people run small stores out of their homes.
Note the tricycles ready for riders. A family that came outside to pose for a picture. A young man posing for a picture. This young man was quite proud of the two hearts on his teeth. I'm not sure how he got them to stay there.
