"Larawan sa Ulap": An 'I-Witness' documentary by Howie Severino
“LARAWAN SA ULAP”
Dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino
May 31, 2014
Most of us take photography for granted, empowered to take selfies any time, anywhere. Photos are proof of our existence and identity.
Yet there are still entire communities where photos are a luxury, photograpers are aliens.
Nestled in the clouds that shroud Mount Pulag in Benguet, Barangay Bashoy is like that.
Enter Juan Portrait, a group of photographer adventurers on a mission - to give school children ID photos of themselves for the first time.
They want to do this in Mt. Pulag Primary School shortly before the opening of classes so the kids finally have IDs with their proud faces.
What does a simple ID photo mean?
What is the effect on a community of not having a visual record of its culture, history and concerns?
In searching for the answers, Howie and his team will travel harrowing roads, explore a breathtaking upland environment, and meet rosy-cheeked kids like 10-year old Ambit, whose tresasured faded photo of her mother preserves a sorrowful story.
This Saturday,experience a place which may be technology-deprived but is blessed in other ways, in “Larawan sa Ulap” on I-Witness.
I-Witness airs every Saturday 10:30 PM on GMA-7 after Celebrity Bluff, with replays every Tuesday 10:30 PM on GMA News TV.
Filipino version
Sa panahon ngayon, usong-uso ang mga selfie. Lahat ng may android phone, kaya nang kumuha ng picture kahit kailan, kahit saan.
Marahil, ang mga larawang ito, katibayan ng ating pagkakakilanlan.
Ngunit marami pa ring lugar sa Pilipinas na bihira ang may litrato at camera.Ganito ang Bgy. Bashoy sa paanan ng Mt. Pulag sa Benguet.
Pupunta rito ang Juan Portrait, isang grupo ng mga photographer na may misyon --- ang kunan ng litrato ang mga estudyantepara mabigyan sila ng school ID sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon.
Gagawin nila ito bago magbukas ang pasukan sa pinakamataas na paaralan sa bansa, ang Mt. Pulag Primary School.
Ano nga ba para sa kanila, ang ibig sabihin ng isang simpleng litrato?
Sa paghahanap ng kasagutan, makikilala ni Howie Severino ang sampung taong gulang na si Ambit, na maingat na itinatago ang larawan ng kaniyang ina.
Samahan si Howie Severino kilalanin ang komunidad na nakakubli sa mga ulap sa “Larawan sa Ulap”, ngayong Sabado, 10:30 pm sa I-Witness.
Mapapanood ang I-Witness tuwing Sabado, 10:30 ng gabi sa GMA7 pagkatapos ng Celebrity Bluff. Replay tuwing Martes 10:30 PM sa GMA News TV.
