The Virgin Mary is one of the most widely revered religious icons in the Philippines, a deeply Catholic country. These Virgin Mary grottos pop up randomly in street corners all over Metro Manila. The DIY ethos of these little structures speaks volumes about the Filipino character. These little structures are very well clean and well maintained despite being located in some very-high trafficked areas where the surroundings are sketchy, polluted, or situated in nooks beside crumbling walls. Some even have fresh flowers in makeshift vases. They’re really cool, and more often than not, we locals overlook them. Some are too big to be ignored, but many are really small, just perched in front of some tree or hidden behind a parked car in a narrow street corner. You can only see a bit of the grotto’s blue frame peeking out. These grottos have different personalities. The photos in this collection span 2009-2020.

I photographed this Virgin Mary icon inside a wooden street side grotto in Manila, Philippines, 2009. It seems like it's a hollowed-out tree trunk. There's a garland of "sampaguita" flowers around her, and some ferns around her. There are Christmas lights draped around the tree trunk grotto.
