DAVAO CITY – In today’s age of untruth, lies, disinformation and total breakdown of sanity, especially among those who are supposedly responsible and accountable to the people to uphold human decency and dignity, a single dissenting small voice could reverberate aloud.Many, if not most among exceptional photojournalists, capture the moment at the right time and place, and such images often tell their stories even without any caption to describe what the eye behind the camera has caught.
After covering rallies, Boy would then go DEMS’ darkroom to process the rolls of films. After a matter of hours, he’d hang the still wet photos in the red-lighted darkroom for the meticulous eyes of DEMS’ once master editor-mentor and most revered photojournalist / trainer Virgilio “Vir” Montecastro, who had the perfect eye for the best image.
Himself having been raised and grown into an impoverished family who had to survive on sparse income in the so-called squatters’ area in Bugak, Sasa, Davao City back when he was little, Boy had known what it was to be hungry and destitute.The discipline must have grown into him at a very young age, when Boy had worked to earn his keep and helped his impoverished family earn a living in whatever means, like washing abaca fiber when he was still very small and could barely lift a heavy load.
Before he knew it, they finally came upon the soldiers held by the rebels. Though he could no longer recall their names, he could not forget the seeming camaraderie that seemed to have developed between captors and captives. Eviota grew close to Boy as colleagues in the MMNS. Boy was the senior and head photographer then of MMNS.
