One time game show contestant, oft-time urban roamer. I have nothing much to say, I'm the quiet one...which is probably why I take photos too much.

Almost 12 years ago (on independence Day no less), Almost 12 years ago (on independence Day no less), I joined a trip of Taal town with Derrick Gerardo Manas as our guide. Prior to that, I only had a passing knowledge of the town. But Derrick made me appreciate this town more, thanks to his passion for Batangas history and heritage. It was thanks to him that I was able to write a well received article on the town, which was my homage to the beauty and history Taal has to offer which Derrick has shown me. Though we have drifted apart over the years, I will always be grateful to have known him and how he has worked tirelessly for the cultural heritage of Batangas. Salamat at hanggang sa muli kabayan!
