An event that can rival sunday’s variety shows in term of venue, sophistication, and detailed stage decors, celebrity host and performers, and big big prices (watch out Wowowie and Eat Bulaga). And the people of Toyota are such a great audiences and fun participants of these special occation.

Kawasaki Dominate (12.7.08)

Posted on January 7, 2009

An event by Kawasaki Philippines featuring a body painting contest, a jacket design contest, a dance contest and a model search contest held at Matket Market. This event was held Dec. 7, 2008, awts, the date the Filipino Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquaio fights The Golden Boy Oscar Dela Hoya. During the shoot, there were text messages roaming around that Manny have been beaten and knocked out by Oscar. Makes the shoot hard LOL, Jonathan Cayaon (fellow photographer of the event and a good friend) and I are so anxious about the outcome of the fight but we maintain our focus on the job in front of us.

Here are photos of the model search contestants.

The story of the mic… as Callalily performs their hit song, I noticed a big mic in the background

I want to capture it as if Kean, the bands vocalist were actually singing at the oversize mic. never got it but in the process of waiting for the big shot, I got this great image

It was a fun day of photography and a historic day for Filipinos… Manny Pacquiao won!!!
