Jessie Conde, 18, a regular player at the community-built court Baryo Aroma, poses for a portrait outside his home in Tondo, Manila, Philippines, August 4, 2023. His teammates typically bet 50 pesos (1USD) each per game, with the winner often using the prize money to buy everyone refreshments. “Once I’m on the court, I forget all my problems”, Conde said. At home, a statue of Jesus Christ wearing a Golden State Warriors jersey is prominently on display. REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez
