On one side is the guard, an enforcer of corporate order tasked with upholding the mall’s image. On the other is the child, a vendor seeking survival, not with a begging bowl but with commerce, converting strands of sampaguita into cash.

The guard overreacts with a kick.
This is not a clash between individuals but a collision of lives, two people with little, caught in the relentless churn of survival.
The establishment overreacts and fires the guard. /Vincent R. Pozon
