Remy Fernandez, 84, holds her grandchild, RJ, in the front door of her cinder block house, built beside a huge rubbish dump in Payatas, in Metro Manila. She is raising seven grandchildren because her son, Constantino de Juan, a drug user, was killed by masked men. The mother of the children is in prison on drugs charges. RJ was born in prison. Masked assassins entered the house through this front door and shot her son. Police deny claims by rights groups that the vigilantes who carry out many such killings are paid by them.
