5 Photo Walks to Try in Metro Manila
Saturday, May 31, 2014 
I’ve been doing my photo walks for 3 years already. It is something that pushed me to try something new every time and I am grateful for that. The tricky part, once I tick something off my list the next challenge is to find a new place to check out. Let’s face it, I have parameters! Haha A photo walk must be photo worthy and accessible. If it takes too much effort, I may not do it. Haha
In honor of going into my 4th year of photo walking, here’s my opportunity to share with you. If you’re like my cousin Paola who recently was introduced to my world of photo walks and crave for more, then this list will come in handy.
Quezon City – UP
Photo Walk Date – April 2012
I’ve been to UP numerous times for different reasons. The campus offers life – you see so many people whether they are students, families, solo explorers or group of friends. I may not have OMG amazing photos from this walk but I love the simplicity that I was able to depict. It was fun to capture a bit of quirk too. UP is also a place where you are sure to eat well. I will have a plate of Rodics tapa any day!
Marikina – Isabelo Restaurant
Photo Walk Date – November 2012
Fort – The Mind Museum
Photo Walk Date – June 2013
Manila – The Post Office and The National Museum
Photo Walk Date – August 2011
Marry my love for architecture and art and you know why this photo walk was conceived. I have a romantic notion of Post Offices because of Ho Chi Minh and if I remember, I try to send a postcard when I’m abroad. My fascination with the Manila Post Office stems from the movie “Ikaw Lamang Hanggang Ngayon” starring Richard Gomez and Regine Velasquez. I remember watching the film, liking it and falling in love with the Post Office. It opened my eyes to the work of Yam Laranas, who is now one of my favorite Filipino directors. Manila – Intramuros
Photo Walk Date – May 2013
