As the night grows older, this part of the city becomes more alive.
Women in low-cut, body-hugging clothes start appearing on the streets of Quezon City's red light district. Some make their move on potential customers.
Also in the area are other women dressed more conservatively in jeans and shirt. They are not around to earn money for the night. Belonging to Bagong Kamalayan Collective Inc. (BKCI), they have come to talk to their scantily clad "sisters" about their rights and to try to inspire them to rebuild their lives.
Liza Gonzales, recounting the scene to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, knows what life is like in the red light district. She was once one of those scantily clad women working in that neighborhood.
