THE bedroom of one 3x4-meter house with aluminum sheet roofing and plywood walls is connected to the kitchen. Mary Jane Fiesta, her husband, and their two children, used to live in this house, located in Esguerra village in Talavera, Nueva Ecija province, in the Philippines. "Its condition has not changed much since she left," Floramay Ladrillano, a cousin of Michael Candelaria, Mary Jane's husband, told Tempo, last week.
