Benguet exceptional elders 2018



Though we were only given half of the day to join our lolo and lola’s celebrating the Filipino Elderly week at the municipal gym, we were amazed because their softened bones and weakened eyes did not degrade their happiness. They actively came, watch and join the different activities.
     Mingling with them was such a privilege. We’ve meet exceptional elders who have treasured things according to their life’s perception. Also, jaw-dropping elders who showcased their hidden talents.


 TATTOO

Encapsulated with ink

Symbolizing life’s journey
Beauty deep within
