Shopkeeper’s Monkey, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This is another photography from my Palawan Island exploration in November 2016. My friend Paul and I were offered by an owner of the Resort a lift to the Victoria Beach House in Alimanguan Village. On the way we made a stopover to the local shop by the road where the Monkey was kept by the shopkeeper on the side.
