Barely a year after Mt. Pinatubo erupted, I joined the group of employees from the National Housing Authority (a government agency) who conducted a food relief operation in Zambales in 1992.
I took this photograph of an elderly Aeta just before he walked away carrying the relief goods he received from NHA representatives.
Mt. Pinatubo eruption is considered as the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. The volcano was dormant for 500 years until its eruption in 1991.
Hundreds of people have been killed during the eruption as thousands others were left homeless, including out brother Aetas.

Hi jingkee (utotmopink). I dropped by ur site and couldn’t find the space to leave my comment. ๐
good choice yami, you must have unearthed an archive of your photo collections, this is 18 yrs ago ๐
thanks Shie. this pic took me less than an hour to search upon stocks of old photo albums. ๐
WOW! A very old photo but captured the walking theme! ๐
Btw, I have a mothers day tag for you. Happy Mothers day!
Ha ha! Come to think of it, old nga kasi the period when it was taken was part of the 20th century (1901-2000). And we are in the 21st century now. History na nga. ๐
I remember that incident. It somehow changed the lives of thousands of our countrymen. Good photo for this week’s theme.
Thanks Marites, Utotmopink, Shykulasa and Earthlingorgeous for the visit. ๐ Happy Mother’s Day!
