East of Here and West of There

A series of viewer testimonial plugs shot by the GMA News TV News and Public Affairs team and art directed by myself. Check out the videos below.

Lipat Bahay, PCIJ's documentary on the Ampatuan wealth, is a two-segment documentary on the extent of the real properties of the Ampatuan clan. The patriarch and scions of the clan stand accused as masterminds of the massacre of 58 people, including 32 journalists, in 2009. I designed and art directed the promo plug.

The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ), in partnership with GMANewsTV Channel 11, broadcasted a five–part documentary on media killings in the Philippines. The PCIJ: Media Killings Series is composed of documentaries exploring the dangerous and violent state of journalism in the country and is PCIJ’s contribution to the global observance of the International Day to End Impunity on Nov, 23, the second anniversary of the Maguindanao Massacre that claimed 58 victims, including 32 media workers. I designed and art directed the plug.

believe in something. anything. everything. stand up for it. and try to set the world on fire.

Another food-centric information capsule I designed and art-directed for GMA News TV's FilipiKnow, this time featuring the ubiquitous fruit salad -- a Filipino favorite. Most of the photos used in the plug were gathered from my collection of food photos, made by family... and eaten by moi! Enjoy!
