EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a diligent worker is seen tying a rope as he assembles a tent in preparation for an important visit by former Philippine president Joseph Estrada to Navotas City, Metro Manila. The image captures the dedication and attention to detail required in setting up the perfect environment for such an event. Taken on November 21,2007, Cheryl Ravelo-Gagalac's lens beautifully freezes this moment of anticipation and significance. It showcases the resilience of the Filipino people as they welcome their former leader amidst impoverished neighborhoods. Joseph Estrada's visit holds particular weight due to his recent pardon after being convicted of plunder. This act has sparked controversy and debate among citizens across the nation. However, it is clear that his presence resonates with those living in these marginalized communities. The photograph symbolizes hope and unity as workers come together to create a space where their voices can be heard and acknowledged by their once-elected leader. Their efforts reflect not only their commitment but also their desire for change and improvement within these neglected areas. Cheryl Ravelo-Gagalac's powerful snapshot encapsulates both the challenges faced by ordinary workers striving for progress and the potential impact that political figures can have on society when engaging directly with its most vulnerable members.
