In this photo taken on March 16, 2019, 13-year-old Reymark Cavesirano secures his borrowed makeshift craft made from styrofoam to a fishing boat anchored at the mouth of Manila Bay off Navotas City in suburban Manila. His grandmother, Remedios Santos, has said she is against him doing this work, because of the risks he faces on the water. “I told him it is dangerous”, says Santos. But he said: “Mama, other people won’t help us in life. So I will help you”. Santos, who is 55, still works as a scavenger. (Photo by Ted Aljibe/AFP Photo)
