A girl collects pieces of charcoal for sale at a market, in Manila March 2, 2012. Local consumers mostly use charcoal as an alternative for liquified petroleum gas (LPG) due to LPG's increasing prices in the world market. An 11 kg (24 lbs) tank of LPG costs about 800 pesos ($19.04) and a sack of coal costs about 320 pesos ($7.61), according to local media.
