It’s not just Christmas that you can see someone in the front of your house singing. We can’t call it a Christmas carolling since it’s not Christmas songs they’d be singing. It is as if serenading someone’s house but hoping for money in return.

In the Philippines, there are those PWD’s personnel who use different strategies to ask money from the public. Of course, perhaps it’s not a free asking of money since they’d be doing something in return. Dancing, singing, rapping or anything that can entertain someone who will be asking for money. You can’t call it payment for someone’s performance. They fully understand that no one asks them to perform so it will be up to someone whether she’ll/he’ll pay and of course for any amount.

I was watching over the store, maybe near lunchtime. A blinded woman with a companion who just sat down by the time she played her guitar. I heard her singing already in the neighbourhood and I found her voice very calming. I took my camera and recorded her short singing.

Thank you for watching
