And what if I grew up as a poor kid spending his happy childhood in Manila’s poorest district - the proletarian Tondo?
I was born twenty seven years ago in a small clinic here in Tondo and since that time, I have faced all that the district can offer. From the hospital’s poor state up to the poorest living organism that you’ll find, Tondo was considered by many as the place you shouldn’t be at…
Unknown to many, whose only idea of Tondo is that it’s a haven for notorious criminals, it’s more than that.
