I had the opportunity and the honor of traveling with a group of Freemasons to Dyangdang, Bansud, Mindoro Oriental early in December 2011. We were there as witnesses to Kara David’s Project Malasakit and her efforts to literally bring light to this small community up in the mountains of Mindoro.

Circle in the Magic Hour
My first visit to the Quezon Memorial Circle. My husband Cris tells me it has changed so much since the last time he was there, which was several years ago. We took our daughter here for some fun at the children’s playground.

This is my friend Evangeline “Bangge” Mahilum. We had a fun shoot at the house one day while the kids waded in an inflatable pool out in the garden.
Kates Ocampo
You may have seen her sitting atop a giant billboard advertising a bar beverage. Months before that billboard went up we shot Kates at Amadeo Cavite, in Balete Falls.
