A view of the desolate squatters alley way down the street from my small hotel in Metro Manila - it always looks foreboding, especially at night...but I've walked it at all hours, and so has Kevin Weir when I showed him where everyone was living.

The left image from June is when they began boarding it up, after evicting those living there, and the image of Malou sitting with her daughter was taken on the top sidewalk portion (in the left image where it's boarded up), where the last board is standing against the wall.

Unless I can find out where everyone evicted is now living and sleeping, I won't get to see my homeless friends anymore, and I hope that most of them have chosen to stay close by the alleyway.

Thanks for reading today,
PJAMES

The homeless have always known me there and now they also know Kevin and call greetings to us by name, so we've never had any issues there.
