Double Barrel Alpha
(the name of the current anti-drugs campaign)Lately, being half Filipino and with the constant media scrutiny on the Philippines, there’s was a strong intrigue and urge to go witness how people are managing to maintain their grace amidst the countries new murderess government. The new populist demagogue President has put a global spotlight on the Philippines for all the wrong reasons with his so-called war on drugs that’s stained neighbourhoods throughout the country. Shot during my month long journey in March, I ventured deep into the colourful communities of Manila and the northern mountain provinces of Bontoc and Ifugao to see the impact, if any, the current unstable political state has had.
