Zamboanga. Fresh fish and cassava are the staple diet of the Badjaos. After they fled their homes, many had to adjust to the food provided by the government and humanitarian organizations, which generally consist of rice and canned goods. For many older people, changing diet is difficult. Some of them lived for weeks on nothing but rice porridge with salt.

More than nine months after the end of the fighting between the Moro National Liberation Front and the Philippines government, over 40,000 people are still living in evacuation centres in Zamboanga. Behind these figures lie the lives that have been put on hold – the men and women who have lost their homes and livelihoods, the children and elderly people living under difficult conditions – all of them wondering when life will return to normal.
