Description

These substandard houses situated along a river in Bacoor, Cavite, are precariously supported by stilts. The government has yet to resolve this type of housing problem in several areas in the Philippines, particularly in Luzon where there is a higher concentration of population per square area compared to the two other major islands of Visayas and Mindanao.
