Our Culture through a Lens

I began my career by capturing people’s faces through my camera. As I explored different styles, I had the opportunity to work with agencies promoting Mindanao and its potential. This experience opened my eyes to the vibrant culture of Mindanao.

The highlight for me was trying traditional foods that aren’t available anywhere else. Each dish was a lens through which I could view the region’s rich heritage and unique flavors such as “nilotlot”

And for me, volunteering is like exploring. It allows me to discover new places, meet diverse people, and immerse myself in different cultures, all while giving back to the community.
