Tielemans's take:

''On my trip through the hills of Leyte, looking for pickup basketball games, I came across these kids playing a game of batak-batak. The kids line up their sandals and take turns trying to knock the sandals off the line. The people in the villages of the Philippine Islands of Leyte, Samar and Biliran had little in the way of material possessions. But they were the happiest people I've ever met.''
