Love Sees Beyond Differences: An Advocacy Campaign on Adoption

Last Friday, February 22, 2013, I was given the chance to be a part of this event as a student photographer. It happened in Terra 28 Park, Bonifacio Global City. It was my first time to be a photographer for a music event and I had so much fun!

Love Sees Beyond Differences is an advocacy campaign for adoption to remove the stigma to adopted children. This year’s Adoption Consciousness event is brought to you by Department of Social Welfare and Development, Inter-Country Adoption Board and McCann Erickson Philippines. Adoption is a love worth declaring! :)

Here are some of the photos that I took in the music event.

 Thank you to Sir Velez(middle) for this opportunity! I’ve learned a lot :)  I think they are two of the official photographers for the event!

 Too bad some of the big local artists that are supposed to be part of this event are in Clark! It includes Ogie Alcasid and Gary Valenciano. Nevertheless, I sang my heart out while taking the artists' photos!

Music is the key to the soul

Last February 22 2013, McCann Philippines hosted a music event that supported an adoption advocacy. Love Sees Beyond Differences, is an adoption advocacy campaign that was launched last November 29, 2012, that aims to eliminate the negative stigma that adoption has held and to promote adoption in the country. The music event started with a mass which was presided by Fr. Armand Robleza SDB and continued on with a concert of various of OPM artists and appearances from our nation's leaders.

The night was filled music and smiles. Everyone enjoyed the sound as it rung from the string of the well toned guitars and the beat coming from the tap of the stick against the skin of the drum. The crowd had a wonderful night.
