After the September 21 anti-corruption rallies, November 30 saw various civil society and political organizations gather once more at Luneta Park in Manila and the EDSA People Power Monument in Quezon City. But several months into the government’s infrastructure corruption investigations, photographer Dominic Pamatmat (@dompamatmat ) notes that frustration and fatigue have washed over the people.
Tensions were high on Sunday morning at Luneta as Manila police prevented the Baha sa Luneta organizers, Kilusang Bayan Kontra Kurakot (KBKK), from setting up a stage for their program at 12 a.m., Philstar reports. This didn’t stop smaller groups from gathering and holding discussions amongst themselves.

The joy of an artist is unconquerable
As serendipity would have it, we ran into @vi.ncenzo2060we on his last day in Hong Kong along Pottinger street. He was painting subjects as he sees them. We spoke for about 45 mins sharing ideas and asking questions about his life as a travelling artist and even his experiences in the Philippines. He shared that he particularly liked the word “magaling” in Tagalog as its meaning expresses great skill and is usually offered as a compliment.
In a way, he felt a little bit like a modern Diogenes but more joyful than the great cynic. There is a warmth in his rebellion. A happiness that I think can only be achieved through years of intentional living.
As an artist, I enjoy the beauty offered up by other artists and to experience their work in such open and honest terms brings such joy to me

Ding-ding as both its sound and its name. Morning commutes with a breeze and the lowest fare on the island

Pahabol Lunar New Year recap hehe
Binondo, the oldest chinatown in the world, welcomes the year of the Fire Horse with a unique blend of festivities, merchandise, and food — celebrated by a crowd of over 30,000 which included me carrying about 3 boxes of tikoy in my backpack
Bouncy doors, an extra $6 for luggage, and trying really hard to show my destination correctly on google maps
A little throttle for thought: these Toyota Crown Comforts are such a nice showcase of automotive history with their LPG engines (this equated to lower operating costs + less emissions before hybrid technology and EVs — especially for taxi operators)
