one of the views as i trek through bontoc. this part of northern luzon is so beautiful. i'm proud of my land!

the ifugao rice terraces in batad

for thousands of years, the ifugao rice terraces have been maintained by their ancestors. this is a monument of my ifugao sisters' and brothers' hardwork, creativity and perseverance. but right now, there are not many ifugao young people who seem to nurture and preserve this great wonder of the world.

children in aparri

i'm saddened by the fact that these children are swimming in this oil-polluted ocean water in the northernmost part of our country.

hometown buddies

some of these guys were the ones i played with when i was a little boy. one of them is the vice mayor of our hometown.
