Photographs of children and research participants from an urban poor community in Quezon City, Manila, Philippines.

 

Jopie Nolasco, my research assistant, is interviewing a woman in while her children help her sell the food to local customers (Quezon City).

 

 

While I was interviewing adults from this community in Quezon City, Manila, the children adopted me as their Ate Ali.  This translates to roughly "Big Sister Alison."  These kids are standing in front of a Filipino "jeepney."

 

 

 

 

 

 

These girls, also from the Quezon City community, are sitting on a Filipino "trike."

 

 

 

 

Cholo is interviewing this man in his backyard as his daughter looks on.

 

 

 

 

This little girl had her picture taken while my research assistant, Cholo Santos, was interviewing her father  (Quezon City) (see above).

 

 

 

Cholo is interviewing a man whose wife is taking care of customers while he participates in the study.  They own a small market out of their home selling fresh meat and vegetables.  In the cage behind Cholo was a rooster who was making a lot of noise during the interview.

 

 

Jopie is interviewing a woman in her home.  She is responding to a questionnaire that Jopie was reading outloud to her.  Most of the participants could read, however, they were more comfortable responding through discussion and with the help of the research assistants.
