MANILA.- Alenor Mangadatu, 26, a former handicraft worker, creates flower sculpture from used plastic bottles that he sells for around a US dollar each at a street in Manila on September 22, 2015. Philippine economic growth in the first quarter slowed to a three-year low of 5.2 percent, well below forecasts, due to lethargic government spending and weak exports. AFP PHOTO / NOEL CELIS
