Teresita "Tita" and Demetrio "Emmet" Comodaz visit their old neighborhood of Leveriza Malate, a slum area in Manila, Philippines on Dec. 2006. After years of Emmet working in Saudi Arabia, the couple now can afford to live in a nice house about an hour south of Manila, and rent their former shanty house to other families. However, the hard earned prosperity comes with a hefty price for many Filipino workers, as many of them get sucked into gambling and alcoholism from the loneliness acquired from years abroad.
