The girl in this pic happens to be the same one in the “Bugas Queen” picture. This time, she portrays how many people are affected in life. Be it rape, poverty, hunger, they all end up in the ragged condition shown in the pic. Once again, this is a shoot I did for the UP cookout. I am kind of proud of this picture because I actually requested for this pose.

The title implies that we need a “hit” on our head to remind ourselves of the growing poor condition in our country. We often ignore how many of our society is in great need of help, yet we wait till the conditions call for desperate measures. We should remember that we don’t need another hit just to remember what we can do on our own.
