In Their Paradise There Are Railways

Waiting For The Train
By Marlon Hacla
22 July 2008

Our house is less than a kilometer away from the families housed beside these railways. I know some of the children who live in these areas. Some of them were my classmates during elementary and high school. I started taking pictures on 2005 and only in 2007 I realized that I ought to grab snapshots from this area because of the rumors that relocation plans were in place for this community. Now, most of the houses between Bicutan station and FTI station have been demolished and some of the families have been relocated to the province of Laguna. Some were not relocated and thus forced to find locations to begin new chapters in their lives.
