best of eastern visayas photo exhibit

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

my entries to the Best of Eastern Visayas Photo Exhibit in Tacloban City, from June 24 - July 2, 2010.   the event is sponsored by the Provincial Government of Leyte  and Department of Tourism-8, in coordination with the Camera Club of Leyte and Samar. Since most of our club members are coming from leyte, i opted to submit images that i took from our beloved Samar Island. ;-)

note: some of these images are just reposted

northern samar visit

Friday, July 17th, 2009

am greatly honored to be part of the core group tasked to prepare a book for the centenary celebration of Diocese of Calbayog. the team is composed of writers, photographers and researchers. our first research and photo assignment was in northern samar, particularly the towns of catubig, palapag, laoang, catarman and capul. these places were considered to have the oldest churches in the north, erected during the first mission of the jesuits in samar island.

here are few of the images i created during our 3-day travel.

samar is participating in one visayas event in cebu this coming march 1-8.  i was tasked to coordinate the photo exhibit for samar and find the assignment so easy.  simply because its all my photographs that will be displayed. ;-)  though some of these photos were already uploaded in my previous posts, am showing it again for some reason.
