Andres P. Bonifacio submitted the photo “The Gravestone Maker.” He writes: “I took this photo on October 25 when I visited Naga City, Camarines Sur where I served as one of the speakers in a training/ workshop for DepEd teachers in Region V. Aside from masterpieces displayed in their shop, ‘Tatay’ took my attention because I was so inspired by his hard work and perseverance. It was around 8:00 p.m. that time but Tatay was still tirelessly working.”
From Daryl Salazar is “Father and Son,” a photo of a father enjoying the water with his young son at Pacalat river in Mangatarem, Pangasinan, “It was morning when I saw this father taking a bath with his son,” writes Daryl. “This photo could mean a lot since water is very clean, hoping that this river will be preserved and maintained clean for the younger generation.”
