THE WINNING ENTRY

Sa panayam kay JL ng PIO Asingan, sinabi niyang gulat na gulat siya at hindi niya inaasahang mananalo sa nasabing paligsahan.

Pagbabahagi niya, “Hindi po talaga ako sumasali sa mga competition kasi never ko naman inisip na mananalo ako.

“Nagbakasakali nga lang ako for this particular competition."

Ang winning entry ni JL na may title na "Aquarium" ay kuha niya sa isang tindera sa Zapote Public Market sa Las Piñas City noong March 29, 2020.

Sa larawan ay naglagay ng barrier sa puwesto nito ang tindera bilang paalala sa mga mamimili na kailangang sundin ang social distancing para maiwasan ang paglaganap ng COVID-19.

MAGKUWENTO SA PAMAMAGITAN NG LARAWAN

Payo ni JL sa mga nangangarap maging photographer, "Kahit ano pong camera, puwede pong maging tool para matuto.
