It was a great honor when the Bukidnon local government got me to be the official documentor/photographer for this year’s KAAMULAN festival. It was one of the difficult assignments I had so far as I was to document the festival’s entire major events and was also doing part-time teaching in Xavier University. I had to go back and forth in each city, Cagayan de Oro City and Malaybalay City, travelling by motorcycle early in the morning. I had to bring with me my motorcycle because it was very efficient going to different events during the festival as there were really lots of people in Malaybalay that time from locals to international tourists. Malaybalay City is a 2-hour ride from Cagayan de Oro City, a place atop mountains and has this nice cold weather which the festival takes place every year. I would like to thank my sister; Irene Aserios for helping me cover some of the major events. I always need a back up photographer in case of emergency. Sometimes we just don’t know when our gadgets might die on us. And also my sister is the writer of the articles within the photobook. And to my brother Ben Aserios for the assistance who by the way also is a videographer under Atoy Martinez.

This Kaamulan Festival 2010 photobook is made possible by the Provincial Government of Bukidnon led by Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri, Jr., Festival Directress May Flor Beltran-Intong, Provincial Tourism Office, all event sponsors,

I have already been into many beauty pageants in different cities to be one of their official photographers and also a judge for the Photogenic awards. I have been invited from local pageants like Ms. Kagay-an 2008 and 2009, Ms. Camiguin,Ms.Laguindingan to the national level Ms. Teen Philippines. I was really awed with the production of Ms. Liceo Emerald. It was just a school based pageantry having candidates from each of the colleges and also their highschool department and yet it felt like it was one major national pageant boasting with great intermission numbers. It was a great event indeed and I was happy that I could be part of their momentous occasion. To all candidates, win or lose, congratulations! And by the way, I would also personally congratulate Ms. Joanna Dignos and Ms. Blande Agtang, our chosen Ms. Photogenic and Fashion Photographer’s Choice awardees. They’ll be having a free photoshoot from us which they could personally use for their own portfolio, which I will also post here. Once again, congratulations to all winners.
