muslim girl
i was shopping at Baguio market when this little girl approached me,
asking that she'll carry my bag for some money.
i told her that i'll just take a photo of her
and she doesn't have to carry my bag.
"isang kuha lang po ha" (just one photo sir).
i smiled and took a shot as fast as i can
because i didn't want her to change her mind.
she was so happy and surprised that i gave her 50 pesos (1 dollar).
most of the time they get 10 or 20 pesos in every bag they carry
....and most are heavy shopping bags.
"kuya nagkamali po kayo" (brother you made a mistake.)
offering back the money.
"no i didn't", i said.
that is really for you.
then i went my way praying that the photo i took of her was alright.

In the crystal clear eyes of this child I recognise all the world's eternal flame of innocence...Extraodinary...!!
