And The Winner Is...


Little guy in barong, little ochre lady.

... this little trophy and sports shop in Raon, Quiapo. The display table outside is lined with trophies (the small ones as cheap as 60 pesos), primarily for local beauty pageants.

Blue man in barong, drawn a la textbook.


The hottest boy in elementary school.
