small WISHES



Small wishes were all they're asking for.

These people of Payatas, Gawad Kalinga and Baywalk in the Philippines
are celebrating the festive season with smile in their face and joy in their heart.
I was one with them.

This is a collection of photos that I took last December 24, 2006
and January 1, 2007. My special thanks to Mr. Bobby Wong
for spearheading this trip. It was all worth our time and effort.

My big wishes were granted.


Manuel Libres Librodo Jr.

Currently based in Bangkok, Thailand

Manny, you were always a street shooter at heart; it's good to see this Gallery showcasing spontaneous street portraiture; always difficult to do, at best...you did well.

Mr Librodo Jr ... You can catch joy, sadness, emotion and evenmore, the soul of a child expression ... like nobody else ! It is incredible the way your eyes see things .. and your photographer talent can transmit this emotion to us ....
Each photo is a Masterpiece, I can not say which one I prefer.. all of them are perfect .. But over all the photography question, I have an emotion on each of them .... You touch people... We have so much to learn from you ! Congratulations, what can I say else ?

Your photos are always fresh to the eyes. No matter how many times I come back, I see something new, learn something else. This set is no different. I see your delight in the scenes you captured, especially in the children. 'Jeepney' has in it some laughter, most certainly a smile. Voted.
flowsnow PM reply 12-Feb-2007 05:42
Beautiful shots you have Manuel! I know you have many admirers and I am one of them! I salute you for your great talent and you definitely have the gift to not only to capture the scene but also to produce it as such that it's captivating, mesmerizing and most of all the impact is so great that it moves hearts. Well done and GMV!
