A rooster hunts for worms at the yard of Miag-ao church in Iloilo province on Sept. 23, 2017.

The construction of the

church began in 1787 and completed in 1797. It served as a fortress against Muslim raiders. In 1898 during the
Philippine revolution against Spain, the church was destroyed. It was rebuilt but damaged by fire in 1910 and by
earthquake in 1948. Restoration work began in 1960 and completed in 1962.

World Indigenous Peoples Day. A Mamanwa tribe fisherman paddles a wooden boat in Lake Mainit, Agusan del Norte
#Mindanao. There are about 14 million IPs in the Philippines comprising 18% of the population. Their rights are
protected by a law but continue to suffer from #discrimination and many are victims of #landgrabbing, #militarization
and other human rights violations. (This is one of the images featured in the coffeetable book "Significant Change Stories
of CARAGA Region" we published in 2005 with funding from the Spanish Development Cooperation Agency #AECI.)

SIX years ago on July 31, Jack Bugay was 11 years old when I took this portrait of him. He is one of the sons of indigenous
peoples group Aeta settled in a mountain area in the village of Magbikin in Morong, Bataan near Subic Bay Freeport
Zone. I wonder if Jack is already in high school and pursued his dream of playing for a basketball team... Like other
indigenous peoples groups (pop 13 million) in the Philippines, the Aetas fight and struggle to claim their ancestral lands
and other rights and they are victims of landgrabbing, discrimination and militarization. Subic was a United States Naval
Facility until the treaty ended in 1991.

FLAG and TEAR GAS ATTACK. Supporters of famous movie star and film producer Fernando Poe Jr brave tear gas from
police forces trying to disperse anti-corruption rallyists near Welcome Rotunda in Quezon City in 2004. FPJ was then
vying for the Philippine presidency challenging incumbent President Gloria Macapacal Arroyo (who was a beneficiary of
an oligarchy-led political project against actor Erap Estrada in 2001). FPJ lost and died a year later due to heart attack.
Macapagal ruled until 2010 but immediately after her term ended imprisoned by the government of Pres. Benigno S.
Aquino III for graft and corruption charges. Aquino III rules until 2016. FPJ's adopted daughter Grace Poe, a senator with
contested credentials and qualifications ran for the presidency in 2016. Rodrigo Duterte won in the May 9, 2016
elections

SEWAGE TO THE SEA. A boy jumps over a filthy sewage runoff along the shoreline of #Dipolog City on December 27,
