Our dear colleagues, Sir Edwin Tuyay and Sir Richel Mascariñas just recently launched the PonD App last March 25, 2020. The platform was supposed to be for booking a professional photographer for every occasion, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the enhanced community quarantine, they have adjusted and converted their app into a citizen Photojournalist on Demand.
Another shining star despite the enhanced community quarantine, Supercharged Workshops brings you SuperStreams (a livestream series that features photographers and videographers in the wedding industry) founded by Ish Montana and Joel Pangilinan to boost and give hope to our dear freelancers who are having difficult time and perhaps feeling down during this Covid-19 pandemic.
Let us all learn and also be entertained from Lito Sy and Oly Ruiz. Be sure to head on their Facebook page on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, 3PM Philippine-time. Have your questions ready and let us learn from these masters. Cheers and keep safe.
We all need this, let’s keep the creative juices flowing. We are happy to share with you the Week 2 of Gathered Creative Co.‘s weekly photo and styling challenge named “Pasosyalin ang De Lata Challenge” (#PasosyalinAngDeLataChallenge) to style your ordinary De Lata using random items you can find at home.

Many in the industry knows him as misterkodaker and he is one of the Philippines’ masters that I personally look up to. I am still stunned learning that he had been diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus. He was my photography teacher way back 2006 and I have so much respect on him as a mentor. I praise God for his speedy recovery.
Sharing with you the story of his battle here:
It was around 2 am on March 16, 2020 when I found myself outside the ER of a hospital near my Antipolo residence. It was the second day of the Metro-wide community quarantine.
I explained that I had been suffering from diarrhea the past two days and vomited prior to proceeding the hospital.
While in the ER, they took a stool sample, hooked me up to an IV and allowed me to sleep for two hours.
Since the results of the stool sample showed no trace of bacteria, I was prescribed medicine and oral rehydration salts and sent home.
On March 22, 2020 I was back in the ER. I still had diarrhea. The ER doctor took note that I was coughing and had a cold. The decision was made that I should be admitted as a PUI.
Unfortunately, the hospital could not accommodate me since 20 of their nurses were under quarantine. My wife and I started to think of other hospitals where I could be admitted. Antipolo and Metro Manila hospitals were already at full capacity.
At this point, my dad and elder brother had been informed about my situation. With their help, arrangements had been made for an ambulance to pick me up at home and bring me to Qualimed in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Just in time. We truly appreciate the love and efforts, Canon Philippines.

The enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic has made a serious reflection about career and life in general. We have been into photography and video production for nearly 15 years now and everyone in the creative and events industry have been deeply affected by the lockdown. The past few weeks made us realize to strengthen our roots in photography and at the same time give back to the community.
