PHOTOS | Quarantine turns streets of Manila into portraits of still life

Share

Metro Manila may be many things: dirty, congested, inaccessible.

But like most world capitals, it is a hub of activity.

Unfortunately, that all stopped when a quarantine was imposed to deter the spread of Covid-19, a virus that authorities are still struggling to contain.

As a result, the city slowed down as roads and streets were closed off to restrict movement.

Bernard Testa, our photographer, was lucky enough to catch some shots during the quarantine’s seventh day, as proven by this video (which admittedly still needs some work but please click on it anyway.)

Stay safe and healthy, everyone. Thanks for being here.
