Students in this classroom at the Daniel R. Aguinaldo High School in Matina Aplaya don't seem to mind the water that is leaking not through the roof but through the floor. (davaotoday.com photo by Barry Ohaylan)
Helping Hands. Members of the Philippine and US navies load food and supplies onto a truck for delivery to a Mindanao orphanage. The donation by the US military was part of the 13th annual bilateral maritime training exercise called Carat (Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training) that began last week in Zamboanga and Basilan.

A child works for education
Argel Kiawan, 14 and an incoming second-year high-school student, does some spade work outside the Magallanes Elementary School, which pays him 100 pesos a day. Kiawan says his family is poor so he needs to find work for his lunch money and daily school allowance. That a minor like him was hired by a public school to do manual labor likewise underscores the problem of child labor in Davao City and the flagrant violation even by government officials of the country's child-labor laws.

Back to Work. The City Council resumed its session on Monday, but this time at the conference room because the session hall, which was being spruced up, was reeking with paint fumes. davaotoday.com photo by Barry Ohaylan
Back to school
Back to School. Parents, guardians and students line up on Monday at the Magallanes Elementary School for enrollment. Some parents complained about the high cost of education but at the same time were thankful that the public schools are way cheaper. davaotoday.com photo by Barry Ohaylan
