Hiding Poverty: More Fun in the Philippines


"Residents walk past a wall covered with a tarpaulin poster of the ongoing 45th Annual Board of Governors meeting of the Asian Development Bank at suburban Pasay city south of Manila, Philippines, Thursday May 3, 2012. Delegates attending the international conference of the ADB in the Philippines capital may not see what they came to discuss: abject poverty. The makeshift, temporary wall on both sides of the bridge from the airport to downtown Manila, hides a sprawling slum along a garbage-strewn creek in the background." (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
