Cebu, Philippines

Il y a deux choses pour lesquelles les philippins ont une vraie passion, la politque et le basketball. A presque chaque coin de rue vous pouvez trouver un panier. Cette photo a ete prise en haut de la montage de Busay qui surplombe la ville de Cebu.

translation:

There are two things for which the Filipinos are passionate about, politics and basketball. With almost each street corner you can find a basket. This photo was taken in top of the assembly of Busay which overhangs the province of Cebu.

Good work, Benjie.

I was reading the insert text, and it's true. Politics and Basketball are leading topics here...

Congratulations!
More than the nice image, the country was featured not in the usual negative perspective.

and no, i wasn't paid. my photo being chosen among the hundreds or probably thousands that have submitted is good enough for me.

I love the background and the unusual "court"... Most street courts are just a plywood backboard on an electric post, this one is really "DIY"...

Oh congrats as well.

taks: yup. this is the one. i don't remember using any filter. if i did, it would probably have been a CPL.

din: it turns out that i have to finally do my shopping sunday and monday! so hopefully we'll bump into each other at photoworld.

david, franz, michael, james and earl: salamat at nagustuhan nyo din yung pic!
