Manila, Philippines.

I could not remember this little girls name. But she was very curious of my camera. She requested me to take a photo of her playing the hula hoop. She was so happy to be photographed and kept asking for more photos.. Kuya, photo me, Kuya photo me! I remember her sweet voice.

At the end I hugged her and swing her around like a hula hoop. She was overjoyed. To me she was a little princess. She was so adorable.

Children are employed for their small sizes and cheap salary. They could easily crawl into those small pits behind.

But the condition is really terrible. Hot, smoky, polluted and bad for health.
