This photo taken on June 16, 2018 shows street vendor and Golden Gays member Al Enriquez, 82, also known as "Carmen Dela Rue", introducing himself to the crowd during the Golden Gays of Manila Beauty Pageant at a restaurant in Manila. The Philippines has a reputation of openness toward homosexuality, but experts say legal protections are lacking and the nation's weak social safety net especially fails older gay people. That's why the Golden Gays have recruited corporate and private sponsors who pay for their members to get a decent lunch and a few days' worth of groceries after the pageants they hold at least once a month. / AFP PHOTO / NOEL CELIS / TO GO WITH Philippines-homosexuality-poverty-charity,FEATURE by Joshua Melvin
