From the three-bedroom apartment with city views, Gekoski easily sees Pasay’s public cemetery. He didn’t realize how miserable life right next to him was until he embarked on a photo project in collaboration with the NGO Lady Freethinker. In the photo, a skinny dog ​​is standing on the top of the tomb. It is one of at least 400 animals living in the cemetery with about 300 families. In this place, some people even have to find leftovers in the trash to get through the day. “I have never seen a place where people live, sleep on graves. As a photographer, I want to tell the story I have witnessed. What I see is not despair but a cohesive community. They still shine with hope despite struggling with difficulties most of us can’t even imagine,” he said. The same suffering as humans are dogs. In the cemetery, everything is almost zero: no running water, no cleaning services, no electricity… Therefore, the dogs here mostly look emaciated. They huddled in the dark, curled up in the aisle, tails curling around their bony bodies. In the photo, Mrs. Cura (65 years old) with her chained dog. She is raising 5 dogs in the cemetery and wants to leave one day soon. Life in the cemetery for many has spanned several generations. They live on money taking care of the graves of rich families, carving steles or selling flowers… Many people want to leave but can’t. Because they live in cemeteries, they do not have access to health care, education, sanitation services, etc. This makes it difficult for them to find outside work. In the photo, Honey (18 years old) lives with 8 dogs and her parents. Ashley Fruno, founder of Pasay Pups – an organization that works for animal and children’s rights – regularly and volunteers visit, care for and vaccinate animals at the cemetery every week. They also hold discussions on the proper care of animals and give supplies to children. However, the pandemic makes weekly visits more difficult. The Pasay government has organized strict social distancing that prevents people living in the cemetery from leaving half a step. Because of their inability to go out, the cemetery’s residents have very limited access to food. They also cannot search for scraps to cover their daily lives. Pasay Pups has donated rice, soap, reusable masks twice a month. However, the number of volunteers is also decreasing day by day. “It’s shocking that they are provided with very few necessities to get through the days of social distancing,” Fruno said. Even so, even when the photos were made public, the Pasay government made no official comment. Sharing with The Guardian, Fruno and photographer Gekoski hope the photos will help people and animals in Pasay cemetery better in the future. Pasay, a city in metropolitan Manila (Philippines) has nearly 416,000 people living in an area of ​​about 18 square kilometers. It is described on tourist forums as a destination for “culture, shopping, relaxation and horror”. Gekoski’s series of photographs expose the lives of poverty that people and animals have to endure in cemeteries.

The elderly in this country also do not know when this mango tree has been planted, by whom, only know that it is pride and sharing with tourists near and far. Around the ancient mango tree, there are many stories about the time of reclaiming and establishing a hamlet, expanding this Giong Nhan land, making visitors even more fascinated. A few hundred meters from the ancient mango tree is Xiem Can pagoda, which has been ranked as a national relic. This is a hundred-year-old Khmer ancient temple with magnificent and sacred architecture. This land has the cultural interference of the community of 3 ethnic groups: Kinh, Hoa, and Khmer, so the name Xiem Can pagoda in Chinese means “bordering the water”, because of its location near the sea. This temple is always the priority destination of tourists when returning to Bac Lieu. The majestic and attractive architecture blends with the cool, shady green space. Just off the main road, turning to the entrance to the temple, visitors have walked through the shaded trees, with the gate, the architectural images of the Khmer pagoda keep leading the way to the peaceful place. A new but famous attraction near and far on Giong Nhan street is the wind power field of Bac Lieu, not far from Xiem Can pagoda. In the midst of the immense sea and sky, the wind turbines rotate like giant pinwheels curled in the air, above are white clouds, below are blue seas. Visitors just need to stand on the bridge, tilt at any angle, pose for a beautiful picture, as if standing in Europe. “Virtual living paradise” is how young people often call this wind power field. If you go out to your heart’s content, you should sit back and enjoy Giong Label’s specialty, which is banh xeo. Giong Label pancake is so famous that everyone must eat it once. There are also people who say to themselves that “Banh xeo is not like that anywhere” and they have found themselves “wrong too wrong” when once enjoying Giong Nhan specialties. The skin of Giong Label pancakes is much thicker than regular pancakes but is quite crispy. Meat and shrimp are spread evenly on the skin of the cake, not focusing on the filling like the usual way. The filling of Giong Nhan pancakes is also made with fresh seafood from the sea of ​​Bac Lieu, and added with vegetables from the field, garden vegetables, etc., mixed with dipping sauce with a characteristic concoction flavor. All rolled up, dipped in dipping sauce and leisurely enjoyed. Crispy, greasy, sweet skin of seafood, a little sour – acrid – bitter – strong of vegetables and salty – sweet – sour – spicy of dipping sauce, all make up a memorable smell. Without going far and not moving too much, visitors had a memorable day when going out to Giong Nhan. Another option that many people experience is to take advantage of the day to visit two more places just over ten minutes from Giong Nhan by car, which is to visit Mother Nam Hai (Quan Am Phat Dai) and Don Ca Tai Tu Memorial Area and musician Cao Van Lau.
