I didn’t imagine that being a photographer/travel blogger will land me a chance to contribute for one of the websites of CNN. But here it is! Check out my Langyaw.com post to read more about it as well as links to the actual article and profile page.

I got invited again by Christian Schlager of the World identity Lab website to contribute for their second project and I obliged. My first contribution was for their Identity Sucks project.

The Wishing Table, documents what one had for Christmas dinner and for my contribution, I submitted the noche buena for one work. Check worldidentitylab.net for the specific post.

To my surprise, Trizer Mansueto, one of the writers of our book, Balaanong Bahandi: Sacred Treasures of the Archdiocese of Cebu, included the full text of my speech which I delivered in behalf of the photographers during the book launch last 26 November. It was published in the 5 December issue of the Cebu Daily News, the regional sister publication of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

This is the second time that I’ve been featured. The first was last 17 May in the Lifestyle section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It was an interview done by Angge Goloy about my transition from a telecoms engineer to a freelance photographer.

While it makes me beam with pride, I am also humbled.

A Ritual of Faith, my main work for my Diploma in Photojournalism course is finally up in Demotix. The photo story was done in Infanta, Quezon early this year and it includes around 12 select images.
