Chinese cemetery - Manila

At the Chinese Cemetery in Manila

"Alcatraz"


This one has a mailbox and a toilet.


Some put the beloved favorite drinks...Pepsi and other sodas

A family car and they jokingly call this street "Rodeo Drive"

A memorial and across the street a family lives in the
house, nice landscaped neighborhood with quiet neighbors!


A lot of different architect styles here





This is referred to as "The White House"


The Turtle Grave




A TV antennae, another family lives here...





Wes & Macek




The baby graves are not with the families...I don't know why.


A basketball fan

When the family runs out of money
or no longer wishes to pay for the site,
they move the bodies,
but to where?


To ward off evil spirits


Common graves









Coke cooler


ere we sighted smoke and our guide borrowed a bike to see if his home was
affected, he lives just outside the fence in the squatter neighborhood.
















Closer to the edge of the cemetery we see a lot of smoke


The cemetery was not affected, but a lot of houses were...

People watching from their homes.


We couldn't fine this in the news, so no telling how many
homes were destroyed.


Anti-Japanese memorial






Our guide (his house was ok)
