Sino bang hindi mahuhumaling? Mga tala sa iyo nakatingin.

Just like many, I grew up walking through Victoria Plaza’s halls. My small hand in my mom’s as she met people for business. Back then, the best part for me was always the food court. Finally sitting down on those benches, comfort arriving in the form of a simple meal.

Before it finally closes its doors, I came back for one last tangible memory. I bought something from one of the many boutiques inside. Just to take a piece of this place with me. And because I couldn’t film with my camera inside, I pulled out my phone instead. Grainy, imperfect, but honest. The ways memories are.

So here it is. A little glimpse of what once was.

Davao’s first mall closing its doors after 32 years.

Walls may empty, but stories made here never will.

They stay. In us.

Hitchhiking after the actual hike 🔛🔝

Some time last June.

Gi sundo nako sila ug sa bus terminal. Gigukod mig iro. Natumba mi imbis gawas na dapit sa gate. Nag hike na walay prep, one week nagsakit ang tuhod. Pero okay lang, kay naka hitch pa Digos.

Waters may still, yet storms stir within.

May we find the courage to let caring hands pull us toward the light as we gasp for air.

I took some aerial shots during UP Mindanao's 27th Commencement Exercises last July 10. This was my third time attending the ceremony. The first was as a student media volunteer covering the event. The second was as a graduate. The third, this year, was as both a hired DOP for a project and an alumnus. Crazy ride.

Pagbati, batch 2025!🌻
