Hi, I am a Multimedia Arts student of De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. I work as a volunteer in the Department of Student Life-Student Involvement Office as a Student Trainer. I don’t get any subsidee from it but I am happy because it builds my personality, communication skills and also the unforgettable experiences.

This magazine entitled “Knocking on Politics’ door” is raising an awareness to the Philippine Government regarding several social issues. It shows the negative side of what is seen in our everyday lives, especially here in Taft (where I live). On the other hand, there are also factors that can be considered in the Philippine Politics during the Regime of Ferdinand Marcos through photos that are shot during my trip in Vigan City and Illocos Norte. Let us open the doors and see and walk through the positive and negative side of politics.

They say put your trash on the proper place, yes it is placed in dirtbags but they’re just laying down in the sidewalks and worst, beside cars. These are sidewalks that should be spaceous enough for people to walk, as well as parking slots for cars.
