Buhay-Riles

Wednesday, December 21, 2005

I was on a voluntary mission with Service for Peace, Philippines, when, as part of the activity, we have to experience train ride with the PNR (the Philippines' oldest passenger locomotive, but in order for us to reach the nearest train station, we have to take a ride with passenger trolley*.

An approaching PNR train.

* a wooden cart with ball bearings fitted to the railings

Mga batang riles (railway children) gathered around foreigners.

This is what's inside of a PNR train.

   Soon this will be history... they already removed most of the squatters and the houses along the tracks.

   Does the government already had programs for the displaced populace?

   I don't have any idea...
   
   By the way, these people being uprooted from the tracks are not simple populace but professional squatters.
