ANATOMY OF THE BOOTH TEXT BY AIDX PAREDES “Okay, four takes.” The brightly lit, six-foot tall, wooden standee of The Booth becomes a mirror of a moment. Flash. First picture. Flash. Second picture. Flash. Third picture. Flash. And then, right there, the moment is done. We take off our silly hats and quirky props of carton mustaches and bohemian headbands, and see three men standing behind the gigantic photo booth waiting for the photos to be properly laid out on a single picture. A long table of props, a heavy looking standee, a wall of curtains, a signage, and a group of men lurking behind the setup—that, I think, is an anatomy of a photo booth. Claiming to be one of the hippest photo booths in town, The Booth is catching people’s attention with its “Free Shots” signage. Others may take the callout as an invite for free drinks, but it offers another kind of fun. And moment after moment, event after event, there they are, the three men—Kevin Caro, JM Santillan, and
Jon Jose—witnessing the smiles, freezing the laughter. Kevin, a contributing writer for LIEU Online Magazine, JM, one of Davao’s rising wedding photographers, and Jon, a budding graphic and video editor, make up the trio that made The Booth happen. We sit down with Kevin, who speaks about the group’s unique fusion of business and passion. What made you start The Booth? Aside from the fun that comes from starting a business venture and growing both personally and financially, what made us start our photo booth business was mere passion for doing something and being good at it. The major driving force for us was how we needed to grow in terms of our love for photography. As a partnership, we saw that we could apply certain aspects of the art of photography and give it a new flair, defying the rules as if they were malleable like rubber.
PHOTOGRAPHY
How is it working in the fields of both art and business? Is it hard to have these two things on the same plate, knowing they are somehow different from each other? Art and business? Now that’s like mixing water and oil. Some artists would shun the very notion of making money out of art, but we believe that to grow as an artist, one has to be realistic and practical in terms of sustaining one’s growth as an artist through engaging oneself in entrepreneurial ventures. As professional photographers, we aim to put a premium on the artistic value and quality of our work, making it seem priceless but, in truth, is priced competitively. What do you think is your edge over other photo booth businesses? Our edge over other photo booths is the very experience that we offer. Our catchphrase “Step Into the Light...” refers to the very idea of stepping into our booth and being blinded by the lights and what we would like to refer to as the awesomeness that The Booth naturally draws out from our clients. It is one of our priorities that we move our customers to be spontaneous and outgoing. Other than these ideas, we can separate ourselves from other photo booths with our props and the very design of our booth itself.
Awesomeness aside, we use high-end equipment when it comes to providing our clients the best work output their money can afford. Using a DSLR camera to capture the most intimate of moments in specific events, we provide our customers with the optimum quality in terms of providing crisp photos in our prints. Also, what sets us apart are our DIY props that no one else has. Sure, those other masks look awesome, but we aim to be unique, hence we opted to go DIY. All in all, that basically sums up how we differ from other photo booths. What aspects of art do you value as you grow in the business world? When you look at it realistically, artists strive for more, and there are certain heights in terms of honing one’s skills as an artist that can be attainable with proper financial backing. If our business venture proves to be profitable, we would exert most of our efforts in the honing of all aspects of our craft as artists in our specific field. Such aspects would include proper lighting for our shots and even providing privacy (i.e. side curtains) so our clients would feel at ease and be more open to spontaneity. The backdrop is also one aspect of our art that we value since, much like painters, we consider our backdrop the canvas to our painting. As we increase our number of clients, so do we increase the different kinds of canvases. S
WOULD YOU RATHER...
In light of the recent issues
WOULD YOU RATHER... bring back to life Jose Rizal or Andres Bonifacio?
KEVIN CARO: I can observe how Bonifacio can relate even more to the plights of our time since he was once also part of the majority of society that was disregarded and treated as next to nothing. And I also want to hear how he got screwedover by that “eraser-hair” Emilio.
JM SANTILLAN: Andres Bonifacio because he’s underrated and I would love to hear him say “putang ina.”
JON JOSE: Jose Rizal because I want him to tell the “Rizalians” he is not God.

EVENT
HIPHOUSE: HALO-HALO
PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMELIA BAIRD HIPHOUSE brought multi-awarded musical ensemble HUMANFOLK to Davao through HIPHOUSE HALO-HALO: A Monster Musical Treat. Attended by fellow artists and music enthusiasts, the event not just gave HUMANFOLK their Davao debut, but boasted a slew of other treats as well. Held on one of Blue Room’s Prohibition Saturdays—which meant discounted drinks all around—HIPHOUSE HALO-HALO featured a varied mix of topnotch tunes from different homegrown bands in Davao; namely, indie rockers Tramonto, noise rock band We Ride Dynamite, alternative trio 8-A, indie sub pop
act Jad Montenegro, dance rock quartet Kwatro Medya, and pop punk group The Sound of Go. One of the sponsors of the event was NDFY. me, an online platform that streams independent Filipino music from all over the country. In partnership with LIEU, NDFY.me had a booth where gig-goers got to sign a petition to have more OPM songs played on local radio. Alleycat Tea House also raffled off gift stubs to lucky guests at HIPHOUSE HALO-HALO, while just outside Blue Room, The Booth set up their photo booth to capture the delighted faces of all the awesome people who showed up that night.

THE ROADSHOW
TEXT BY JANNA MOYA AND RAMON ERUM PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHIT LACSON AND JANNA MOYA
Cinematheque Davao, home of the city’s smallscale film viewings, screens not only local and international independent films, but also showcases various works devoted to public interest. Last September 19, 2013, MTV Exit held a film showing for the film shorts Intersection, Enslaved, and Butterfly, all encapsulating the horrors and pains of individuals being trafficked. Following the fictional stories of women and children falling into the trap of traffickers, the movies bring to light the harrowing plight of human trafficking victims in the hopes of one day eradicating modern society’s modern slavery. In between the film screenings, the LIEU team interviewed three youth ambassadors who had recently concluded their workshop training with MTV Exit in the hope of raising awareness for human trafficking through photography, songwriting, and theater. The interview included Louie Bermaibahay, Jenny Arado, and James de la Cruz—all of whom belonged to different universities, had different undergraduate courses, and underwent different workshops but have been joined together for the advocacy against human trafficking. These young advocates gladly shared to us their experiences in the workshops and their future plans in their fight to continue raising awareness of human trafficking. How was your experience in the MTV Exit workshops and what did you learn?
LOUIE: It was great. The workshop I attended was on photography. You can relate photography to the advocacy that we are fighting for, which is human trafficking; we can depict human trafficking through pictures. It’s a bit tiring but all the effort is worth it because for me, even though I’m still a student, I can do something about human trafficking. It’s not just a simple advocacy. JENNY: I told myself I’ll just go into theater. I wondered, “What did I get myself into?” It was about acting and I had no experience in acting whatsoever. I was thinking about how to connect acting with human trafficking, then I found out that truly, at least you can raise awareness through acting. Because MTV Exit doesn’t raise awareness in a typical way like through forums and seminars; they know that the youth is their target audience. So the tours have to be as creative as possible. I learned how to act and we were taught to act out the pain of the individual being trafficked and even the trafficker himself or herself. JAMES: I chose songwriting as my workshop choice. I had no background in songwriting, but I write poems. So it was easy to put into words the lyrics of a song, but I was amazed at the workshop because I learned that in songwriting you need to relate one thing to only one topic; you might feel like it’s far-fetched, but you need to connect everything together. For me, songwriting is one of the greatest mediums to reach out to people. It covers a wide range so you also have to be careful about what you write.
EVENT
After the workshops, you were enjoined to share your newly-honed skills through school tours around Davao City. What was that like? Did any of you feel pressured? LOUIE: I felt pressured at first. The event happened as soon as the workshops ended, agad-agad. I applied all that I learned in photography through the workshop. Even though it happened quickly, I was happy; there was a factor to charge earlier school visits to experience so that the succeeding events would be better than the previous. JENNY: For me, if there was a feeling of pressure, I definitely felt it. There are schools where they might not take you seriously, so you don’t know how to approach the audience. It’s an overwhelming experience because they now know the meaning of human trafficking through us, youth ambassadors, and the MTV Exit team. JAMES: Our greatest challenge is how to gather a crowd. The hardest part is that in some instances they are not allowed to go to the forum because, for example, an entire class must reach a unanimous decision to attend the forum and, in my experience, only a few opted not to join so the whole class couldn’t be excused by their professor to join the forum. They couldn’t sacrifice their studies just to join. Once all the events are done, the workshop, the school tours and the concert—what’s next for you three youth ambassadors? LOUIE: We do not settle for just the events directly managed by MTV Exit. After the MTV Roadshow concert, there are still different activities in each school and each ambassador must have a plan.
JENNY: Actually, it makes me happy because just now during the private screening at Cinematheque, private organizations expressed that they want to partner with us. For all of us ambassadors in Davao, we hope that after the concert, though it cannot happen immediately, we still are able to conduct activities. JAMES: For me, that is the challenge of the ambassadors to keep the fire burning, to see if they are really passionate towards their advocacy. I personally hope that, after the concert, we will gather outputs and projects so that we can truly say that we deserve to be MTV youth ambassadors. In a few words, state a motto or a striking experience to encapsulate your stand against human trafficking. LOUIE: “No one should be trafficked.” That’s our core message even though we all naturally have a selfish side. We want to reach apathetic people. You don’t know about human trafficking, but what if it happens to you? We want to reach those who are aware but do not make a stand against it and those who are aware but don’t know how to help. JENNY: In connection with that, mine is “the more you know the more you can help”. You are more confident if you know what you are dealing with. JAMES: “Everyone is vulnerable to being trafficked. Everyone can be a trafficker. Anyone can help.” If you suspect any activities of human trafficking, you may contact the following human trafficking hotlines: National (02) 1343, Davao (082) 330-3058, and 09177185588 or log on to www.mtvexit.org.
EVENT
MTV EXIT Roadshow, a free concert for a cause, listed Davao as its first of many stops to raise awareness and to encourage the youth to join the march against human trafficking and exploitation. The concert took place at the Matina Town Square on September 21, 2013, and the night couldn’t have gone any better as the event featured some of Davao’s best in the music scene: Maan Chua, South Breed, Umbro, Anne Mendoza, lucas, and Lost Tribe. The night ended in a tremendous fashion as Franco rocked the lights out with a staggering set.
Human trafficking and exploitation should not be taken lightly. They are serious issues that are undeniably happening around the world today. In fact, the Philippines is ranked under the Tier 2 Watch List in the 2009 Trafficking in Persons Report of the United States. Davao City ranks fifth among the most trafficked cities in the country, with reported cases of at least 1000 trafficked teens, charging as low as P0.50 per service. We must not put the lives of these people solely in the government’s hands; we must do our part as well. S
AN ARTIST & AN ACTIVIST
TEXT BY AIDX PAREDES INTERVIEW BY GENEVA PANGANDOYON PHOTOGRAPHY BY REXOR AMANCIO
Another song starts to end as the halogen light from the ceiling slowly goes off, tinkling bells filling in the silence. The actors start to march on the stage, carefully remembering the lines they’ll perhaps forget after the show. Red light in, microphones start to gain the sounds of voices. The second half of Karakter comes to life. Karakter is the first of two plays presented by Ateneo de Davao University’s Teatro Humanidades and written by Noy Narciso. A teacher for many years now and mentor to a group of students who share the same love for theater, Sir Noy also wrote Babayi, a play featuring stories of women from different situations. Sir Noy has long had a passion for the arts, as early as college. As it developed through the years, he gained the courage and confidence to be critical using both artistry and activism. Passionate about social issues like land grabbing, militarization, and the lumads, he advanced his advocacies by making his art stronger and deeper.
“It has always been there,” he says when asked when his activism started. “My activism is practical in a sense that I make sure that I know what I am doing and who I am working with.” Veering away from the conventional, Sir Noy focuses more on the alternative and incorporates his pieces in school projects. Saying that he is not one of those artists privileged enough to acquire expensive resources, he recycles things for the sole purpose that is art. The man, who confidently walks in a kaftan with a handkerchief wrapped around his head around the dimly lit room where his plays are realized, only wants his craft to spread awareness of issues he cares deeply about, such as community empowerment and discrimination of women, as well as recycling of materials and usage of the mother tongue as the first language.

ARTIST’S PROFILE
Through his advocacies for peace through art and music, Sir Noy stands up and raises his voice along with the cries of people also wanting to know the truth. Using his power in writing, he attempts to go beyond the surface of today’s reality. With his passion for the arts, he creates pieces that symbolize truths that many ignore. His music sings on behalf of those who know more and can only say so little. Recently, Sir Noy has found another social issue to be passionate about. Below is an excerpt from ”Sanayan Lang”, a song he wrote that is inspired by the current unrest in Philippine politics. “Sabi ni Pareng Bert sanayan lang ang pagpatay Sabi ko naman sanayan lang din ang pagnakaw Sanayan lang din ang magdadala ng pagkain mula sa handaan Sanayan lang ang kapalan ng mukha Sanayan lang din ang uutang at umilag “Sanayan na lang ba ang maging mahirap o mayaman? Sanayan na lang din ang pagpapanday ng kanya-kanyang kasaysayan Di ka nasanay mahirap na talaga sa Pinas Sanayan na din ang palingon-lingon, patingin-tingin, pasulyap-sulyap Ikaw, anong nakasanayan mo?”* Onstage, the lights are turned off entirely and a silence has settled—a signal that the play has ended. Sir Noy, a man of a thousand expressions, wearing a kaftan and a folded handkerchief on his head, stands watching his students walk out of the hall, probably hoping that his artistic advocacy has touched them in even the tiniest way.

ACTIVISM IN SOCIAL MEDIA TEXT BY BAIAN VALDEZ Activism is the principle of vigorous action or taking part as a way of achieving social, political, or economic goals through protest. Activism is, as said by some activists, participating in any form of protest to fight or stand for a cause. Activism can be peaceful or violent. Also, it can be direct or indirect in its way of dealing with the issue and is usually initiated by sector-specific groups, non-government organizations (NGOs), and non-profit organizations. It is worth noting that a key essence in activism, including in the Philippine context, is social praxis. Basically, it means that whatever you believe in or preach for the good of society is to be practiced and contributed for the common good. Over the years, the Internet has been used as a tool for expanding activists’ activities. With the Internet making information exchange and communication turbo-charged, it has also contributed to activism by making communication involving activism and its mobilization much faster, much further, and more effective than ever before. Activist groups have started to create Facebook and Twitter pages to further social awareness. In the Philippine context, activism in the Internet is a safer way of disseminating awareness
and information, since a lot of activists here have been killed, kidnapped, or forcibly vanished since the Marcos era. However, activism in the Internet, especially within the parameters of the social media, has drawn some criticism. Some people, including some activists, frown upon such a move because it has the tendency to be seen as just an attempt to make one feel good about himself and be noticed by people within one’s circle of followers and friends. Such a move in social media can be interpreted as stemming more from a concern to project a certain image online rather than a concern for society and change for the better. Do you think our national heroes such as Jose Rizal and the Katipunan fought for some perceived image rather than for the better of their fellow Filipinos? One criticism of activism in social media is that it can misinform how activism actually works. A like or share may contribute to mainstreaming an issue, but it isn’t exactly an instant solution to a socio-political problem. It wasn’t likes and shares that donated aid, such as food, clothing, and water, to the victims of Sendong and Ondoy, right?
There’s a huge difference between liking or sharing a status against the pork barrel and being in a protest rally versus the pork barrel. A few people, including me, call this slacktivism or clicktivism, where one likes or shares without really being informed about the issue, or just “free rides” on the issue. Let’s face it: likes and shares didn’t make the RH Bill become the RH Law; it was social action and lobbying in the Congress that made the RH Law. If everyone just likes and shares, change will never happen. Another criticism of activism in social media has to do with its limitations. It is limited in terms of reach to those who are within your circle of friends or followers, as opposed to the activism on the streets, which includes not just people you know, but ordinary citizens—even those without Internet access. Speaking of people without Internet access, they are the most vulnerable stakeholders in most socio-political issues, and as such, should ideally be informed about these issues. But as we all know, drivers of public transportation and farmers are not online during their spare time. Activism in the social media is also limited in terms of action. Social media is a great avenue for spreading awareness and educating netizens on certain social problems, as well as passing around electronic petitions. But at the
end of the day, that is all it does: educating and information-sharing. This isn’t exactly a bad thing, yet it isn’t really that special compared to going toe-to-toe with a social issue. Activism in the social media doesn’t really make a hard blow against a certain issue or directly confront it, as opposed to boycotts, street demonstrations, and community building. Social praxis, an important essence in activism, seems to be absent or lacking within the context of social media. Almost all of the people who are beneficiaries of activism are not in cyberspace, nor do they have access to the Internet. So should this entry stop you from doing activism in the social media? Definitely not, but you should know how it should be done. Educate and instill awareness on issues to the people within your social media circle. Encourage them to rise up and confront the issue in their own way. To contribute more in the efforts against an issue, log off the Internet afterwards and show up at a people’s gathering to lend a helping hand. If you’re after the braggadocio and feeling good about yourself, activism in the social media isn’t something worth bragging about. Heck, activism isn’t about impressions, it’s about expressions—expressions of anger, and hunger for social change for the common good, and a better and progressive kind of development. S
DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, TEXT BY EMIKO ESCOVILLA
Most people think that my generation knows only the good things—expensive gadgets, flashy cars, late nights partying at some club or house. But they often fail to realize that we are aware of what is happening around us. We know, for example, about the Zamboanga crisis, how it could have been shortened to save more lives and property, but instead it went on for nearly three weeks. What were you thinking, sending Mar Roxas to handle things in your behalf? There is a reason he did not win as Vice President, even when he rode the Aquino bandwagon with you and some other candidates.
should you fail to perform the obligation of upholding justice which you have imposed upon yourself—have happily consented to. We say happily, because look at where they are now: one is now Mayor of Manila, despite having been convicted of plunder, while the other is still District Representative of her hometown.

Some of us who have hope no longer have anything to sustain it.

IMAGE FROM JEANE NAPOLES’ TUMBLR ACCOUNT
12 RANDOM THOUGHTS ON JEANE NAPOLES TEXT BY A GIRL WHO’S ON THE INTERNET A LOT
1. How did Jeane get Blake Lively to pose for a picture with her at the MTV Movie Awards? The way Blake smiled in the photo, she looked like they were such good pals. Or maybe Blake’s just really nice. 2. I wonder how many people reading all those articles on Jeane pronounce “Christian Loboutin” correctly in their heads. 3. How much does a “Herve Leger” dress cost? Am I the only one who has no idea? 4. I could never walk in a dress that tight. Or heels that high, for that matter. 5. While we’re at it, how do you pronounce “Herve Leger”? 6. Unlike Jeane, I’ve never had a picture taken of me weighed down by a bazillion shopping bags. Plastic grocery bags, yes, but those fancy shopping bags with the fancy logos on the front, no. 7. She lived in an apartment in the Ritz Carlton in LA as a college student? And here I am, bragging about the days I lived in a tiny studio apartment back in university, where I could hear every conversation that took place in the next room with crystal-clear clarity. (Our building was pretty cramped.) 8. She’s been to Paris, Tokyo, and who knows where else? I’ve been to Singapore and Hong Kong. On promo fare. And on each occasion, I went back to the country with not a cent to my name. 9. She owns two Porsches, one of which she got on her eighteenth birthday? I don’t even know how to drive, much less own a car. 10. How did I celebrate my twenty-first birthday? Did I go out for dinner with my family? Did I spend all my birthday money at the mall? I can’t remember now. One thing I’m sure of: I didn’t have a party that memorable. 11. I read somewhere that Jeane often buys her friends drinks when they’re out at night. I remember a night when I was newly employed and wanted to go out for a few drinks, but was flip-flopping because I wouldn’t have enough money to go home if I got those drinks. I ended up mooching off a friend, who paid for my drinks and insisted on taking me home. I wonder if Jeane’s that way with her friends. But she probably wouldn’t hang out with broke-ass people in the first place, right? 12. I wonder where Jeane is and how she’s doing. I can’t imagine how she must be feeling right now.
