2-14-2022 I covered the #LGBTQforLeni march as a volunteer photo/video journalist. The march was from CHR Commonwealth to the #LeniKiko2022 Volunteer center in Katip. It was tiring, sweaty, loud, and fun. We encountered a lot of Leni supporters from all walks of life. I even got a selfie with my president @lenirobredo ! @bise_leni 💖 (at Quezon City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ_zEJvPlHF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I miss star parties the most. I miss spending the whole night under the stars. I miss road trips, camping, using my tent, seeing the Milky way with the naked eye, talking and learning from the masters. I can’t wait to see you again.🥺😢🌌 #nofilter 2018 star party throwback with @astroleaguephils in Caliraya Laguna. (at Lake Caliraya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD744S6JhL0/?igshid=a6h2333on5ef

Back after 3 years. Mainly for my Media 230 (Media ethics class) in UP 

I just flew over the Swiss Alps using my Phantom 4 drone. This is my first time in Europe and my first encounter with real snow! 🏔❄️We're about to wrap up our Switzerland shoot/adventure for a global brand (that I can't say yet). Check out @catarambulo's IG and IG stories for updates on this crazy project. Special thanks to #gushcloud and #elevationpartners for this amazing opportunity. Watch out for the video/s soon! What a week! 🙌🏽 📷 by @desilvakit (at Swiss Alps)

http://www.philstar.com/young-star/2016/07/22/1605186/fresh-produce-2016 Got featured in a major broadsheet today. 👌🏽 Adi Bontuyan (@ADIBONTUYAN), 24, Founder of @pushmediaph It’s really hard for me to describe what I really do. First, for many people, I’m a filmmaker. I’m more of the jack-of-all-trades in my company. I’m also an editor and musical scorer. My college thesis entered Cinemalaya and short film festivals in San Francisco, London, Paris. Hindi lang ako kasama kasi short film lang so that kind of sucks, but the feeling that your craft travels somewhat inspired me and I just pursued it. I’m just a big geek for technology, which is one of the reasons why I’m in this field right now. We’re in this time right now that we have the tools — we can afford (them) and that somehow inspires me. The best thing about what I do is to see my craft uplift people, inspire people, help their business, help them grow, help them communicate their ideas. So you have a huge responsibility to help them transform their idea into an effective form of communication. It’s really inspiring once you see them satisfied and entertained.

Last week we documented a solar powered hospital in Laguna. We also interviewed their awesome forward-looking CEO. This is part of a long term project with an NGO (HCWH International) about renewable energy and how we phase out coal so watch out for our short documentary. #GoSolar #HealthyEnergyInitiative #NoToCoalYesToHealth (at Calamba Doctor's Hospital)

No one really celebrates National Heroes Day at this age and I couldn't blame our unaffiliated silent majority who are simply jaded with all the politics. We've been recently bombarded with so much issues (education, employment, justice system, territorial disputes, religious powerplay, epal politicians, etc) that honoring those who lived and died for our freedom is simply out of our priorities. (Or just uncool.) Remembering our heroes the traditional "Filipino style" (with banners, organized mass action, loud speakers and cheering) won't do anything for them. They're all dead. What we can do is tap their wisdom to "guide" us in our present troubles and pave way for our future. INDOLENCE - or "the avoidance of activity or exertion; laziness", for example, has been said to be one of the root causes of our nation's ills. The doctor who wrote this diagnosis also criticized the crooked system of both the corrupt state and the religious. He wanted a #TrueSeparationOfChurchAndState as friars of their time exploited our naive countrymen with "tickets" to enter heaven in exchange for service, loyalty, and huge taxes. Those who question the masters may be harmed and considered as enemies of the faith. Sounds familiar? That doctor was our National Hero who wrote this more than 120 years ago in his essay "Indolence of The Filipinos". Sorry Jose Rizal, if we somehow failed you but we can still change things. This is not an issue about the INC, or the Catholic Church or even about the faithful (who I believe are intrinsically good people). This recent issue is about our FREEDOM. I don't want my future daughter to fear for her life for exposing the truth in her religion of choice (if she chooses any). I don't want my future son to be voting for someone because his group said so. I don't want any institution (religious or not) to have a virtual "freedom from investigation" despite clear hints of foul play. (In the same logic, should we not investigate child/sexually abuse from churches around the globe?) Please DOJ and the gov't. Get to the bottom of this and expose the truth before the faith and patience of the unaffiliated runs out. #nationalheroesday2015
