A cemetery in the heart of Pasay in Metro Manila, is the resting place for over 10,000 deceased people and some living one. Some 10 cemetery caretakers and their families live under very poor conditions. Still they feel more safe among the graves then living on the outside, since this poor neighbourhood is known for drugs and violence. They look after each other and fend of any squatters or intruders, especially males, to protect their children.
