Raul Locsin Student Journalism Award
The first photo in this series garnered me the 17th Raul Locsin Awards for Student Journalism - Photojournalism Category, for fearlessly documenting socio-political issues and marginalized communities. The photo is titled Christmas and the Youth (translated from Kapaskuhan at Kabataan):

About
This photo series was published by the official Filipino student publication in ADMU (Matanglawin Ateneo) in its Facebook page as part of a countdown, a few hours before Christmas, with this translated caption:
"_ hours left before Christmas!
This Christmas, let us not be blind amid the glaring lights and colors. Listen to the pleas of our Filipino brothers and sisters."
This Christmas, let us not be blind amid the glaring lights and colors. Listen to the pleas of our Filipino brothers and sisters."
Original Filipino caption:
"_ na oras na lang ang natitira bago ang Pasko!
Ngayong Pasko, huwag magbulag-bulagan sa kabila ng nakakasilaw at kumukutikutitap na mga pampailaw at parol. Dinggin ang pagtawag ng mga kapatid nating Pilipino."
