The New Cathedrals in Conscientious blog
I’m just speechless! My work, “The New Cathedrals” got featured in one of the top, if not, one of the best Photography related blogs today. Thanx Joerg. 
My first article and two images for Smart on the Epic Relay 250 published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, 6 July, at Lifestyle section. CLICK TO READ.
This is my first article that has been published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the country’s top broadsheet!
Printed last 6 July, it is one of two articles that I wrote for Smart when I was commissioned to cover its two teams during the Epic Relay 250 in Subic. I documented them and later wrote two related articles.
The article is also available online at the Philippine Daily Inquirer website. Last year, I got featured in the same broadsheet too.
Just got informed by Christian of WorldIdentityLab that the video interview he did with me (and four other contributors to the site) last 1 May is now up. The above is just a teaser. Check out the site for my full interview.
My work on the Desaparecidos photo story is the lone Philippine entry in the Chobi Mela V International Festival of Photography
The Chobi Mela V catalog hand carried by Shahidul Alam
Finally, my copy of the Chobi Mela V International Festival of Photogaphy catalog is in my hands. Big thanx to Shahidul Alam, Festival Director, who hand carried it and gave it to me last night during the Alumni homecoming of the ACFJ.
I was promised last year that my copy will be mailed but really haven’t gotten it and now this: hardbound, thick and heavy weighted paper featuring the works of the different photographer artists who showed work at the festival interpreting the theme Freedom.

My work, Coping with a Desaparecido, was the lone Philippine entry. Check my other Chobi Mela V posts.

After being featured in a series of international and local magazines* last May and this month, my work, Gagamboys, is being featured in the Asian Currents, Journal of Works and Studies in Asian Journalism published by the Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism (ACFJ) at the Ateneo de Manila University.
This is the ACFJ’s special 10th Anniversary issue featuring the best student works submitted as a requirement in graduating in the M.A. Journalism (15 articles) and five of the best photo stories in the Diploma in Photojournalism programs that are offered.

Gagamboys was my minor portfolio submission for my Diploma inPhotojournalism course and was taken in Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City.
