iNVITING YOU ALL TO A PHOTO EXHIBIT- BE THERE DEVCOM FRESHIES!!

The Development Communication Society and the Development Communication
Department in partnership with the Peace and Conflict Journalism Network
(PECOJON) is organizing a joint photo exhibit entitled “Mindanao War” and
“Lansad 2”. This will run from December 8 – 10 at the Student Center lobby and
11-12 at the AVR1 lobby.

The “Mindanao War” photos are taken by professional photojournalists in their
coverage of the war in Mindanao. These photos have abided by the goal of
PECOJON, which is to “search for uncommon or untold stories that show various
perspectives on the situation”. The exhibit provides the viewer a first hand
glimpse of the reality behind the much-publicized Mindanao conflict and how
these are treated to show truthfulness of the situation. The photos will take
you to a journey of Mindanao war – the overlapping fears, anxiety, threats,
hassles - and the drama of those who are affected. Surely this will give you a
clearer understanding of the conflict, in pictures.

“Lansad 2” is a photo exhibit launching amateur photos of Devcom students with
themes like nature, scenic spots and photo essays. The photos will give you a
fresh feel of the world, of how young eyes look at the present situation.

Please join us on Monday, 3 pm for the exhibit opening, graced by
internationally renowned photojournalist,Mr. Romy Gacad and several manila
based journalists. Mr. Gacad will also speak in a forum on photojournalism on
October 9, 9am at the DevCom AVR, 5th floor, new Aggies building.Gacad is
Filipino veteran photojournalist and a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee whose
works have appeared on the cover of various international publications
including Time and Newsweek magazines. He is the chief photographer for the
Manila bureau of Agence France-Presse (AFP), the world's oldest established
news agency.
