These two are taken from a walkway over the street in Quezon City. There are quite a few of these as there are no American style crosswalks.
There is often some type of surprise on the overpass too. This one had some smelly dog poo but someone selling something that you'll never need would also be a possibility as well as a homeless person.
We have met homeless people in Quezon and it's disturbing to me. A few of them have been just plain raving crazy and unable to function. If someone has family, that family will normally at least give them somewhere to stay out of the rain.
We met an old woman last year that just looked pitiful. We passed and Pinang was talking about something and I told her that we must do something for that woman.
She put some peso bills in the old woman's hand but said that "there's just no one there". In the end we had someone call the church and gave some money to care for her.
I've not seen people in such pitiful welfare as here in the Phils.
Anyway....this is a shot from the overpass with the smelly poo.
