Mga Tunay na Bayani
It was an unusual concept for me, mainly because as a man I can only understand up to such a degree, the significance of breastfeeding and the connection it creates between mother and child. So arriving at the grounds of the AFP really got me searching and trying to understand the message of who I’ll be taking portraits of.

We found this nice place called The Henry Hotel Manila, a quaint hotel with lush trees and post modern style houses renovated to have hotel rooms, details that are a mix of modern and vintage styles and a rich history that come along with it, it was the perfect place to escape to that is not too far. I wanted to just rest but my wife had planned a little activity for our stay,…
