This dissertation investigates the causes and the ways of life of homeless people on the streets of Manila, the Philippines. The researcher conducted participant observation with street people for 14 months from January 2014 to April 2015. Drawing upon Paul Farmer's concept of structural violence, instead of blaming homeless people for their conditions, this ethnography argues that high unemployment in the Philippines is the primary cause of homelessness. The other two major factors are family problems and lack of access to cheap housing in squatter areas. Next, this ethnography illustrates how homeless people in Manila survive on the street both in material and cognitive terms. Their survival involves getting food from soup kitchens, doing odd jobs, providing self-explanations of their homelessness, and thinking positively about their lives. The dissertation suggests that several faith-based organizations provide food for homeless people to survive from day to day, but are less concerned about how to help homeless people overcome homelessness. Accordingly, they are a part of everyday violence that routinizes street homelessness and perpetuates social injustice.

This dissertation investigates the causes and the ways of life of homeless people on the streets of Manila, the Philippines. The researcher conducted participant observation with street people for 14 months from January 2014 to April 2015. Drawing upon Paul Farmer's concept of structural violence, instead of blaming homeless people for their conditions, this ethnography argues that high unemployment in the Philippines is the primary cause of homelessness. The other two major factors are family problems and lack of access to cheap housing in squatter areas.

This ethnography includes a subjective dimension in its study of the victims of structural violence by investigating how homeless people think about their own lives. Despite the hard conditions of street life, homeless people in Manila adapt to their conditions and are able to find a certain level of happiness that is unexpected when compared to other ethnographies on homelessness. Not many homeless people are suffering in the sense of sorrow and losing their self-worth. Although this dissertation argues that homeless people in Manila can get used to street life, it does not mean that social injustice should continue. The author emphasizes that social exploitation, such as hiring people and paying less than minimum wage, must be solved.
