PINAY DH PHOTOJOURNALIST


Meet ZYZA CRUZ BACANI, A Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong for 9 years. She moonlights as photographer in down town Hong Kong during her day-off. She observed that Hong Kong is one of the most racist city in the world. especially when it comes to domestic helpers. 

But the younger generation according to her were nicer, maybe because they were raised by domestic helpers from the Philippines. Zyza also  volunteered to work at Bethune House Migrant Women's Refuge, a shelter for abused migrant workers were she documented their plight.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.
