Brenda Moreno, an Amerasian woman, gives a manicure in a beauty salon in Olongapo, Philippines. Her Filipina mother worked the bars around the giant U.S. Navy base in Subic Bay. Raised by another woman, she still doesn't know the identity of her father, an African-American member of the U.S. military, but she's hopeful that DNA testing will soon lead her to him.

Moreno is a member of Buklod, an organization formed in the 1980s that unites prostitutes and former prostitutes in education, self-empowerment, and the defense of their rights. She received training and a small capital grant to start her manicure business with funds provided to Buklod from United Women in Faith.
