The indignity of Philippines homeless dead: leased graves that expire David Pierson, AIE BALAGTAS SEE © (Aie Balagtas See / For The Times) A woman visits the tombs of her father and her brother at Navotas Public Cemetery in Manila. The pair were killed in the Philippines crackdown on drugs. (Aie Balagtas See / For The Times) There isn’t much in the way of dignity for the dead in Navotas Public Cemetery. Remains are stacked in cinder-block holes five stories high. Their openings are cemented shut and painted in blue, yellow or pink pastels. Those whose families can’t afford a plaque have their names scrawled in black ink. On days when the humidity and breeze conspire, the stench of decomposing bodies hangs over grounds strewn with trash and uncollected bones.
