The Philippines has not been discovered by micro-photography; in my daily flights and journeys towards the farthest villages called Purok or Sitios of more than 3,000 Barangays composing nearby Towns, a Filipino or aliens has yet to view the - 566,257 photos, plus the more than 120,000 in

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Judgefloro (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Judgefloro) Username: Judgefloro Registered: 20:46, 29 April 2013 (3 years ago) Total edit count: 566,257 or a Total of 688,000 pictures of never ever touched by cameras farthest beauty of Philippine native scenery, landscapes and panoramic views of Sunsets, Schools 3,000 churches including the Bisitas or chapels ...
18 Philippine provinces including their 280+ Towns, Cities, Churches, Landmarks, Attractions, Monuments, Cultural heritage, Schools, Flora and Fauna, inter alia
Skyline, Macro, Micro and Microscopic photography of over 3,000 Barangays of Towns and Cities, including their Sitios or Villages: starting at Pampanga, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Bataan, inter alia
Judge Floro presented, portrayed and captured Luzon, Philippines, per The Eye gazing from above towards each and every Barangay into their Sitios and upon insects eating honey of Flowers in the Philippines - pondering how natives, the students and school children of this tiny point of the Planet Earth, appear in front of Sony and Nikon lens.
Micro-photography: the beauty and truth about a Town and Barangay are the dirt, the unpaved, rough, dangerous and dilapidated roads, where the cement and steel supposed for the project are mysteriously subtracted; hence, I often encounter questions from Local Government officers about who, what, when, where and why these Photos; it reaches a point that they would ask my Identification Card only to find out that I am a Judge with Grade 31, who am exempted from such questioning ... hence, I carefully take close photos, rather of Farm to Market Roads, the plantations with the insects upon sunsets.
Why do I take pictures? this question is asked daily by natives who sees my Camera eye flash; I told them, for myself, personal, they would not stop asking other questions; I would politely reply, I will upload them in Wikimedia Commons; for what and so on; I would use a tricycle by renting it, to take continuous pictures of roads, which, for me, is the most important in my photography; I stop at beautiful sunsets, flora and fauna, Halls, Chapels, landmarks, inter alia.
How much is the cost? Answer: priceless; for example, in Candaba, Pampanga Wetlands Bird Sanctuary, the tricycle fee is about $ 15; photos of 2 or 5 Tarlac Barangays requires $20 or more; if the Department of Tourism or Local Government or the Professional photographers would do the same, would they? are there funds for that? who would commission the photography? This paragraph verily defines the meaning of Priceless photos Donated to Wikimedia Commons.

Welcome back Floro. I can think of worse things to do with your time than travelling around the Philippines taking pictures. I've done a little of that myself when I was over there.

Actually I've always wanted to start a thread for the community to post pictures of the area where they live. Considering the geographic diversity of the HLP community we could probably accrue a really cool collection of imagery.
Thanks judgefloro for sharing your collection, it makes for some great viewing.

You want to start a thread or just hijack this one? Either is fine with me if Floro is going to be AWOL for a while.

It takes a magnifying glass, but i'v spotted elves in all of these pictures.
