A group of children seen studying inside a small mausoleum in Manila North Cemetery, where they live among the tombs. CreditThe Manila North Cemetery, is one of the oldest and largest cemetery in the Philippines. Its elaborate mausoleums and endless rows of humble, stacked tombs are home to an estimated one million of the dead, and also a few thousand of the living inside the cemetery. Some of them serve as caretakers of the mausoleums where they also stay to survive. Other informal settlers often serve as informal tour guides, bringing visitors to tombs of famous people and discussing the oral history of the area. Others take advantage of the quantity of visitors during the Allhallowtide holiday, setting up stalls to sell drinks and snacks, and providing visitors other services like renting out their toilets. On Tuesday, July 2, 2019, in Manila North Cemetery, Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines.
