- Title: Baseco shantytown, Manila
- Description: Baseco (Bataan Shipyard and Engineering Co.) is the name for a poor shantytown community near Manilas port area populated mostly by migrant workers from the provinces who come to Metro Manila in search for better-paying jobs. The town made news headlines because of numerous fires that hit the compound in previous years, rendering many of the residents homeless...A portion of Baseco has been recently developed for housing for the urban poor through the Gawad Kalinga housing program and Habitat for Humanity. However, a large portion of the compound still lacks decent infrastructure, potable water supply, health and sanitation services. During the typhoon season, Baseco is flood-prone due to the proximity to Manila Bay. Garbage and waste disposal is also a big problem and adds to the already long list of environmental problems faced by its community. Manila, Philippines. August 2006.
