One of my favorite portraits depicting the working poor of Philippines is a child from Hagnaya who was playing with a group of kids who ended up coming over to my table at Hagnaya's Pier while I was waiting for a boat.
The kids were curious about the Pelican hard side case I was wheeling, and wanted to see my gear inside, so I ended up taking the camera out and did some casual shooting.
The boy pictured joined the others at the table, and had a distinct look about him, including very bright blue eyes which is quite unusual for a Filipino.
He didn't speak, but let me shoot an informal portrait while he thought to himself a while.
I never learned his name, but most of the local kids at the Pier have Parents or Family who work long hours there, toiling in the hot sun and running the small sari sari stores that sell BBQ and soft drinks, etc.
Thanks for reading today,
