Sage of the Port
Bordering on the bedlam of sights and sounds that is the city is a small community unseen by many. Huddled houses, narrow spaces, muddy if not rocky roads, and reeky smells–despite these, the Baseco Compound, a reclaimed section of Port Area, Manila, is home to thousands. It has more than 56 hectares owned by the National Government and is under the jurisdiction of the Philippines Ports Authority. Being one of the most populous urban poor in the Philippines, reaching more than 64,750 people, as recorded in the Philippine Census in 2020, the Baseco community faces numerous challenges that worsen the situation of its residents.
