We were cruising the Binondo area during a photo walk when we came across some settlers near the Pasig river. It was already midday and the place was buzzing with life. Everyone was on his feet doing his own thing.
In one particular group, the kids were enjoying and having fun in the Pasig river. Actually, the Pasig river is their pool, their paradise.
Actually, I envy them. At their age, they are already expert in swimming and diving. Swimming in the Pasig river is no joke. The river is deep, water lilies are floating most of the time, barges are passing through and fro, and the water is not ideal for swimming. But despite the given situations, still, the kids embrace this place as their own haven.
When we arrived there, they were just having fun along the concrete gutter. The moment they saw us, some of the kids went for a show off. They climbed a concrete post several meters high and went for a dive. Likewise, they also climbed the roof as high as the concrete post and showed their diving stunts much to our delight.
All of us were entertained and delighted with the diving skills of those kids. But since there were so many of us, it was hard to get a clean shot. I patiently waited for the group to leave and asked the kids afterwards to do some stunts. And I was thankful because they were cooperative until I got a good shot.
