Manila

A beautiful wall print showcasing the energetic chaos of an old Manila street, the heartbeat of Filipino culture that resonates through the jeepneys. These iconic vehicles, weave through the bustling urban tapestry, embodying not just a mode of transportation but a living canvas reflecting the rich heritage and spirit of the Philippines. Against the backdrop of daily life, the rhythmic symphony of jeepneys captures the essence of Manila, where tradition meets the modern hustle, and every ride becomes a colorful journey through the heart of Filipino identity. Photo taken by local photographer Alexis Alaurin. 50% of profits go to Angat Buhay, a local charity, and a smaller percentage goes to the artist. It is an impactful contribution and collaboration between you and the local community.
