A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 5
It was another lazy day on the northern shores of Siargao. The wind was steady and the sun was out. After having breakfast we decided to motor out and visit the famous and oft-photographed Magpupungko tidal pools. It was just a quick 10-minute motorbike ride from the resort we were in. There was ample parking…

A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 4
Vacation. Lazy. Day. That’s how I’d properly describe our fourth day in paradise. Lazy. Day. We woke up late.

Sta. Ana Wharf: A Revisiting

In Davao, one of the go-to sites for a sunrise landscape photoshoot is the Sta. Ana Wharf. Naturally, I had to go…

The Storytellers
Last weekend, I joined a photowalk here in Davao City as part of the annual Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. It’s been a while since i actually joined one. A while being about 5 years (I think). Anyway, I felt like a fish out of the water since I haven’t been on photowalks and I, honestly,…

Roadtrip along the East
