THE JOINT PHOTO EXHIBIT OF DEVELOPMENT COMMUNICATION SOCIETY AND PEACE AND CONFLICT JOURNALISM NETWORK (PECOJON)

The Development Communication Society and the Development Communication Department in partnership with the Peace and Conflict Journalism Network (PECOJON) organized a joint photo exhibit entitled “Mindanao War” and
“Lansad 2” last December 8-12, 2008. The launching, held at the XU-ADC STC Building's Lobby was graced by prestigious and award winning photojournalists of the country.

INSIGHTS

The first apartment of the lobby showed different photos sized approximately 36 x 24 inches, black in background and graced with white text color and bold Arial font were posted. these were photos taken by those photojournalists..

What caught my attention was the photo labeled, "Fears in Their Faces". It showed a scene of a family with their padre de familia peeping through the "doorless" portal of their home. The title caught my interest on how the journalist captured that photo. Superb i may say that the photo was real as the fear in the Father's face traced the portrait of real fear, and not just soap opera dramas.

REALIZATIONS

Amazing! A lot of people nowadays are still concerned of informing people of what we are going through! They'd even risk their own lives just to take flicks of very dangerous events in the manner of not minding self profit or glory.
God gave us the passion, talent and resources-- exclusively for us-- to effectively be DEVELOPMENT COMMUNICATORS-- ones who strive for development and positive social change.
The photo inspired me to go on with my course, not just because of the bright future it may give me, but the very love of making a stand, take risks, make change and break bondage of chaos.
