MANUEL "MANNY" LIBRODO, JR., the multi-awarded Filipino portrait photographer based in Thailand, was in town to do a closed door workshop with selected participants for two days on July 2007. The workshop was organized by the group composed of photographers Rhonson Ng, Paul Borromeo, Jojie Alcantara (me!), and Bong Aportadera, and supported by the FPS (Fanatic Photographers Society of Davao) headed by Dexter Tan. He has just finished a workshop in Canada and in Manila. A psychology professor in Bangkok, Thailand, Librodo's award winning portraits can be viewed in https://pbase.com/manny_librodo.

The Master portraiture was so supportive and generous of his talent and he showed us how to enhance our works further. I was so proud of my output as well as my batchmates.
