PhilippineClimb hosted an event last October 26-27. It was a fun filled and a meaningful climb. We had a speaker from Akyat Aral sharing their passion and advocacy. 

As a teaser, here are some of our pictures on the summit with the other groups.

Yup! PhotoSkwela again. I am not a serious photographer though I earn something from it. My colleague hire me as a back-up photographer on their events and I'm lucky to receive some projects like debut, prenuptial and baptismal shoots.

I keep on passing the message to my friends about Canon's FREE Photography Lessons by a professional sports photographer and businessman Jijo de Guzman. 

For a person who picks ideas slowly like me, lessons should be taken regularly. The basic becomes complex whenever I sets my cam to Manual - adjusting shutter speed, lens opening and many more.

Attending such lectures does not focus on its scope alone, for I have learned about the term Gray market. For citizens who are just starting to explore the real world like me, its a very interesting topic.

Here are some of my practice shots.

So it's a date! Mark your calendar. November 9 and 23. Let's learn and have fun. Learn from a PRO.

The World Teacher's Day is celebrated every October 5. It is a special day wherein we commemorate our educators' humble service.

I am currently employed on an educational institution and was able to receive letters form the students. They consider me as one of their teachers.

 

The day was fun filled. I've reflected on the moments and somehow traveled back in time and see the old me. I was a quiet and outcast person before. I used to talk to myself (unknowingly) according to some of my friends. At the age of 13 I led a group in our parish that made me more old fashioned and a little bit responsible on things.

Seeing the students on how they treat their teachers that day was touchy. Some of the students cried apologizing about their bad behavior at class. All of the students thanked their teachers for helping them on things and teaching them lessons in life.

The day went well and overwhelming. I got to know some of the students better, and teachers as well. While the programs was happening, I see myself listing down suggestions to improve the school programs in my mind.

The following school day, I went to the classrooms to do my routines. In addition to what I am supposed to do, I shared a word to the class (a sermon, somehow). I told them "...... saying sorry isn't enough. Saying sorry won't materialize unless you work on it. You have to prove that you are really sorry for your bad behavior by trimming down the vices you are doing."

I was wondering, should we treat our parents on this day also? Parents are our first teachers. They too exerted a lot to teach us on how to do things right like pooing, eating on our own, dressing up and even the basic alphabet. What do you think?

Got alarmed by my caption? Falling Industry - Yes, based on my opinion it is. Why? Because everywhere, anywhere and anytime of the day - I haven't seen anyone wearing Alfombra Slippers.

My Favorite Slippers :)

Havaianas, Reef, American Eagle, Flip Flop, Sanuk, Ipanema, Merrell and a lot of brands. Haven't you noticed there was nobody, not even from your friends and family, is bragging Alfombra. Nobody is in rush to the store to buy Alfombra. There is no supermarket or department store, not even Ayala or SM Malls, is selling this original Filipino-made slippers.

Admittedly, I am also fan of buying these branded slippers. At the back of my mind, I am patronizing it because of its durability despite high price. I realized that why buy those slippers. Why am I letting this multinational company earn millions of dollars? even billions? Why am I letting their company employ millions of worker, while my fellow Filipino's slippers industry is falling?

My lasog-lasog Alfombra ;)

At last! I finally meet MONSAC.So what's the big deal?

Monsac was founded way back 1995 by Sir Edmon Llave. Monsac is an outdoor icon then, known to outdoorsmen of the Philippines. It manufactures a wide array products from dry bags, T-shirts, trekking pants and even backpacks.

Sir Edmon and I have the same advocacy of promoting the welfare of the environment. He used to help different outdoor groups but had stopped when he found out that these groups were behaving differently from what is expected.

I have some pictures of his crafts where known outdoor shops have evolved.

Philippine Climb is proud to be a Filipino and so we are supporting Filipino products. Why should we buy pirated and imitated gears if we may purchase genuine and trusted brand. The rise of the legend does not only mean the rise of a Filipino brand but as Filipino ingenuity also. We may not know that we have a brand named Zalvaje Eyegear, but it is as classy as the famous brands. Zalvaje Eyegear is on the move to conquer international market.

Let's support Philippine products.
