| This family lives in a shanty cobbled together on top of a row of
tombstones in a public cemetery. The home is two 6 x 8-foot rooms with
rotting wood floors barely able to hold a person's weight. The ceiling
is made from rusted tin pieces. Each hole in the tin is stuffed with
tinfoil to keep out frequent downpours. By ComapssionInternational on Flickr |

| Several thousand homeless people in Manila have made graveyards their
permanent homes. The biggest graveyard of the Filipino capital, North
Cemetery, is now like a small village in itself with a population of
10,000. Photo credit: Rudi Roels. - LINK |

| This cemetery in the heart
of Pasay in Manila is the
resting place for over 10,000
deceased people - and
some living ones. About
ten cemetery caretakers and
their families live in the
graveyard, in terribly poor
conditions. But the residents
feel safer among the graves
than living on the outside in
a neighborhood known for
drugs and violence. Photo credit: Gerhard Jörén - LINK |
