"ISANG MILYON" means one million in Filipino. I clearly dont' know how many fishes I saw but maybe more than a million ! Some shots I took during incredible dives last year. It was the first time I saw a sardine run. This is how I tried to transpose what I felt in this edit. The dynamic song really helped me to edit this insanity. I chose the black and white grading to accentuate the graphic side and the movements of the shoal. Again my friend Air Goat composed this great custom song.

Isang Milyon: Save the Philippine Sea

May 21, 2020

It's been said the Philippines is worth dying for.

We believe the Philippines is worth diving for.

“As the world's second largest archipelago with over 7,100 islands, Filipinos depend on the sea for livelihood, food, tourism, economy, and ultimately, our lives. Environmental conservation shouldn't be limited to NGO workers and researchers-- it should be accessible, relatable, and part of our lifestyles.” This short film was shot in tandem with the work being done by Save Philippine Seas. “SPS aims to narrow the gap between scientists and the general public, the old and young, and the passionate and indifferent by mobilizing citizen-led initiatives that are empowering Filipinos towards collective action and behavior change.” -Save Philippine Seas
