In a spacious room at the Rose Princes Home, a nursing facility on the outskirts of Manila, a caregiver feeds an 81-year-old partially paralyzed Japanese man.
The man moved to the Philippines five years ago, after his wife died. Beside his bed are a Buddhist altar and mementos of his wife.
After becoming a resident at the facility, the man suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak. He has been taken care of by the nursing home staff ever since.
