Sorry guys, I’m really very busy right now with a deadline. Cebu Ocho will continue, hopefully, by next week. For the meantime, enjoy and reflect on a semana santa series which I did and is my major story for my final portfolio in the Diploma in Photojournalism class (ACFJ-Ateneo de Manila University) which ended two weeks ago. By the way, this is only a slideshow.
I went back to Infanta, Quezon last April to do my major photo story as a requirement of my diploma course. This time, I spent several days documenting the preparation and actual activity that culminated on Good Friday. I have posted about this ritual here previously, which detailed my experiences and observations.

Wow. Strong coverage as usual.
And those rituals are quite stunning. I could use additional info to understand all the images.
I hope your teachers will be as happy as I am with the results

I’m from Infanta, Quezon and never have I seen such engaging images from my province until I saw yours. Good photography. You can come up with your own book. Or have you done already?
