For more than a few decades already, the Barangay of Babag in Lapulapu City, Cebu is abuzz with people coming from different places to work on the small scale firecracker industry that sprout in many open spaces in the area in time for the Christmas and New Year holidays wherein many Filipinos greet these celebrations with parties and a bang. The louder, the better. Many of these backyard operations are illegal and most play cat and mouse with inspecting police teams.

Every 1 November in the predominantly Catholic country, the Philippines, people from all walks of life start to visit the cemeteries in anticipation of All Souls' Day (dia de los muertos/day of the dead) celebrated the following day. In Talisay City, Cebu province, people start to flock around late afternoon until deep into the night bringing flowers and candles to offer to departed family members, relatives and friends. The glow of a thousand candles can become a spectacle as people gather around their family's burial plots to pray and chat. In this cemetery, the 'dakung krus' (literally, big cross) marks the place called the 'cumon,' or common area where people can light their candles and offer prayers for the departed instead of going around to specific plots and niches.

Every Good Friday of Holy Week in the Philippino town of Infanta in Quezon, self flagellants roam the streets as a form of sacrifice for a sick family or relative, or to ask for blessings and protection from harm. The ritual is unique because of the elaborate costume that these men don. In the 1950s, as many as 300 men perfomed this ritual. This number has now dwindled to just 30. Quezon, Philippines. 09/04/2009 Self flagellation as an act of mortification has its origins in the 11th century in Italy and later spread to the rest of Europe including Spain. The practice was introduced to the Philippines by Spanish missionaries in the late 16th century. Over the past 400 years, it has been adapted to become an indigenous ritual. Today, it is performed mainly in Central Luzon, Metro Manila and some provinces in Southern Tagalog. The climax of these rituals is Good Friday of Holy Week. Practitioners, perform the ritual as a petition or supplication in the form of a “panata” or vow, which they swear to honour for a fixed number of years. It is made in the hope of healing a sick relative or, in many instances, as a spiritual investment in the hope that God will bestow grace or blessings on the family in question and protect them from harm and misfortune. Flagellants are Roman Catholics. For them, this is the most important and solemn of days: their self-mortification becomes the ultimate expression of sacrifice as a means of sharing the passion and suffering of Christ. In the town of Infanta, Quezon, around 5 hours drive east of Manila, the self-flagellation practice is unique because of the elaborate costume that these men don. The outfit consists of a skirt, called a “saya” made from dried banana leaves, a flog called the “panyabat”, tipped with wooden pegs and a floral headdress called the “tukarol.” According to studies, parts of the costume used to be buried in fields after the ritual as offerings for abundant harvests, but this tradition is no longer observed. In the 1950s, as many as 300 men perfomed the ritual. Nowadays, this number has dwindled to just 30.

Unskilled workers make a living from the rag trade in Bagong Barrio, a former slum in the city of Caloocan. Caloocan, the Philippines. 18/04/2009. In the 1980's, some enterprising individuals started the rag industry by recovering the excess material from clothes factories. They then made these into the familiar disposable, round rags that are now sold in the streets of the metropolis, shops, big factories and companies. The underground industry employs people with learning difficulties who can't find regular jobs, thus enabling them to earn a living. Today, Bagong Barrio is considered the largest supplier of rags. While only a few families are said to have the capability to provide the raw materials, each one has dependent families and individuals who make the rags and output around two tons of the product per week. Although there is no study as to how many are engaged and benefiting from this industry, or the extent of its distribution, interviews indicate that these are not only sold within Metro Manila but buyers come from near and distant provinces within Luzon, the largest island in the country. The industrial complexes of Subic get their supply from Bagong Barrio as well as the many factories in the export processing zones of Laguna, Cavite and Batangas provinces. Every Thursday and Monday morning, wholesale buyers from the northern province of Nueva Ecija come to get their stock for distribution in many more areas up north in Cagayan Valley.
