pusangkalye photo lands a spot in abs-cbn news.com

I was very happy when I found out that my photo of the PEBA Awards Night 2010 found its way to mainstream media. Abs-Cbn news online and Yahoo news in particular. I owe it to the PEBA team for singling out this photo among the many pictures snapped during the night.

from his blog, Dahn Jacob writes,

""Tulad ng nabanggit ko sa aking akda, “hindi nagkulang si ina na ipaunawa sa amin ang dahilan kung bakit kailangan niyang lumisan”. Nawa’y lahat ng OFW ay maunawaan ang kahalagahan ng salitang pamilya. Ang pagkilalang ito ay kumakatawan sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino, sa bawat sakripisyo, pangungulila, tagumpay at ligaya. Para sa lahat ng Overseas Filipino Worker.""

..................we owe it to the millions of Filipinos abroad for keeping this country economically and morally afloat, for working hard to give their families decent life and continuous inspiration back home despite the sometimes harsh conditions abroad. And we owe it to the Expat bloggers for bringing their stories of courage, love, perseverance and heroism online so that their families and countrymen could at least keep in touch with them. Kudos to all Pinoy Expat bloggers!!!!
