Description

These Filipinos are waiting by a closed “sari sari store.” A sari-sari store is usually small and sells various kinds of products. The business strategy of selling various retail items was said to be inspired by Chinese immigrants in the country’s early history. Chinese people are known in the Philippines for their impressive ability to put up and sustain businesses. (date: 2004-10-09)
