I am reporting, this time, from the Central Philippines--Island of Cebu( about 1 1/2 hours by plane)---on assignment to cover the president's regular holding of office in this region.

With me is the SDCC 08 Fancy Hair Hedo!

We arrived this morning in Cebu, on board the first flight at 6:00 am....





The president's first schedule was an inauguration of a newly constructed school campus run by the Jesuits.



A little action when the president arrived...









The cardinal even attended and heard mass this morning...





One lady member of the president's security group was startled when she saw me "shooting" the president

While the president was taking her lunch, it was pictorial time for me and Fancy Hair!













I went with "flower power"--style photo shoot---the school grounds where we were offered not much scenic back ground...bummer.

That is all for now...hope you enjoyed it!

nice photos! on my last trip to the motherland ( June-July last year), I wasn't able to make it to Cebu. i'll be sure to make it there on my next trip.

there's gotta be more security for the president when there's a fancy hair hedoran in the crowd !

I need to go to Cebu. I hear it is so much better than being in Manila.

Great pics as usual, Jay. I love that SDCC fancy. It was my favorite toy from the show. The subtle pink vinyl is so nice.

Dig the shots of the Hed in the field with the flowers

Cebu has more to offer than Manila---beach wise! You can go island hopping from here and it is much laidback.

The president's security are probably wondering what the hell am i doing everytime i cover the president....remember last time?

Not just Cebu---check out Bohol, and the whole of Panay islands when you get back.

I love this figure, I had the feeling it was drowned from all the releases last SDCC 08, but definitely a killer release for me.

flower power seem the vibe of this piece and most of bwana's figures---it gives itself to nature i suppose, very naturally cute

I love how you sneak those toys in the shots. good stuff Jay.

Its not graffiti or anything, but a funny, different take on defying authority--sort of pathetic, but i enjoy the "rush"

"Renegade Soft Vinyl Photographer"

haha...cool!

...and i will do IT again next time!

thanks Jay.
Those shots are awesome. Love the fuzzy fancy with the cardinal.

Really nice pics Jay. Good to see some crazies over there too. Haven't really been there since the late 70s.

Your welcome Bwana! Love this version.

Man! You should come and visit the Philippines Lamour! A lot has change since the 70s.

Yes, maybe soon. Who knows if I get to go on this S7 tour, It's only a canoe ride over to see familia.

Do it man! Lets hang out.
