mw2: binondo
manila walk 2: binondobinondo is the home of chinatown in manila and it is center of commerce and trade by the chinese-filipino community. there were notable landmarks there such as the binondo church and plaza ruiz but we delved ourselves to the less fortunate areas. as the usual patrons of the streets, xavier and ogie introduced me to a new friend.
i'll introduce him later.

mw2: quiapo
manila walk 2: quiapofirst of the series. a whole day street photography around manila, from morning till sunset. nothing much changed since i went back to plaza miranda. the team were the same, tagging with xavier and ogie from treklens, we ventured to the busy streets of quiapo on sunday morning. the only new thing was the gears in which i tested nikita (my new nikon d300) and longnose (nikkor 70-200mm 2.8) in the streets of manila. i felt nervous at first, thinking of a six-figure peso toy slip into someone else's hands... but it was a challenge.
we blended well and nothing bad happened. street photography was indeed an exciting adventure.

my whole-day street photojourn/portraiture happened once again with my fellow treklens members, ogie (shogun) and xavier (hydroxycut). we walked from quiapo to baywalk, but with more risky routes to tackle. overall, 8gb worth of photos and memories were captured.
next, a week-long adventure in the island of palawan. i thought that it would be my first time going to visayas region, knowing that the province belongs to luzon... particularly in region 4 (mimaropa - mindoro, marinduque, romblon and palawan). el nido is definitely a paradise that i will not forget.
and finally, the extreme three-day trek at the mountains of zambales where we put our will and gears to the test from harsh weather and political turmoil.
of course, in between those treks i was able to shoot some portraiture of my relatives, friends and strangers. so stay tuned for more photos and thanks to your patience. :P
