Thank you Atty Majie for providing us with the route of the Pagoda sa Daan 2014 (Pateros Fiesta). This yearly event will be celebrated this Saturday, February 8, and a lot of Nayon Photographers will be there to cover the event.

This will be my 2nd time to shoot for the Pateros Fiesta (Sta. Martha) and hopefully this year, it will be even more festive than last year. This will also be my first time to watch the Pandangguhan Festival at around 7:00 PM.

Here are the themes for the PhotoWorld Cup (PWC) 2014. These themes were presented yesterday during the Photographers’ Night at AIM Conference Hall, Makati City.
