Fishermen’s Club
This is a typical day for a Navoteño (Residence of Navotas) fishermen after they went on fishing, excited to see their family and bring home the bread. It’s like a gentle mans club or a brotherhood of fishermen. See how they are all enthusiastic and consider this job as a profession. life maybe miserable but for these people, work hard is more important in living rather than make it easier (Old Filipino Men Principle of Mano-Mano, the tough it is the better the way community look at them). Maybe they’re not interested of the the Economic Recession, maybe they are not familiar with Con-ass, or maybe they don’t give a damn in the continuous progress of the technology. But this people have one goal, to live a good life and serve us with the fish we used to have in our dishes.
Parking Space Under the Bridge
I was doing my daily afternoon jogging in Navotas Centennial Park when i saw this perspective that gave me the idea of shooting it. I just want to share this to you honestly when i saw this i remember West Side Story. the Scene where Bernardo and Riff died, it happened under the bridge though when i saw it on stage the set was too fancy more on lighting and silhouette. i remember that was the last time me and my ex lover saw each other after we broke up.. I’ll cut it off i don’t want to be too sentimental. Anyway, This is one of the scene in the Navotas Centennial park… the part of Navotas river connecting to the Manila Bay. it happened that fishermen dock their boat under the bridge. i just want to share this pretty scene in my home town.
