(I took these photos 3 years ago in the Philippines)
These are a couple photos that I would like to call "Work Ethics". Something you wont see in the US and these people have my utmost respect. The rain was pounding, the field had been plowed when the rain paused and the rice sprouts were then hustled out to the fields and everyone started planting. They did not stop until the last sprout was planted. Even in the pouring rain. They are doing hard work but the average person would be at home staying dry or worrying about the knee deep water in their living room. Also note these people are ages 18-80 years old.
Keep in mind, this is not just bad weather. We were in the tail end of a typhoon and many of these people's homes were 2-3 feet deep in water already. It gives a pretty image of all Filipinos, but I think there is a big difference between city workers and rural workers.
(photos are mine: don't mind the quality)
