One of the Most Generous Men of 2008 goes to…

Posted on April 1, 2009. Filed under: Column | Tags: , , |

Finally! Kuya Daniel Razon now has a fan blog! check out: www.kuyadanielrazon.wordpress.com  I happen to stumble upon it while searching for updates on Isang Araw Lang (Just One Day) campaign.

I’m really a sucker for great concepts,  so when I learned about the Isang Araw Lang, I think it was a very wise campaign to call on everyone who can afford to spend their extra-money/ time/ service to the unfortunates.

Kuya Daniel has become the inventor of many first. His public service programs are out of the box…okay, maybe that’s a little hypothetical, because many other organizations do medical missions and feeding programs too. Question is how often?

I remember my officemate - she is a relative of one of the presidentables – who does medical mission downsouth with her cousins, which I thought was a good deed, not until she keeps bragging about it!

Can they do it DAILY like the Clinic Ni Kuya which is open to public from 4am to 9am? How about the FREE MRT RIDE for senior citizens DAILY? or the FREE BUS RIDE DAILY?

Then, there’s a newbie on the list of his public missions, the Transient Home, which runs..you guessed it, DAILY! The first Transient Home in the Philippines is located in  Edsa Ave. Philam near UNTV 37 station, another one that is bigger in capacity is located in Apalit, Pampanga.

Next on the pipeline, according to Kuya Daniel, is the free college which will offer Nursing and MassCommunication courses.

Kuya Daniel never gets tired of thinking good and doing good with PERSEVERANCE. What an admirable man!

Now, this Isang Araw Lang campaign has opened a lot of opportunities for various organizations and even individuals to lend a hand.

You ask, what’s in it for you? Why join Isang Araw Lang (Just One Day)? 

You will have the chance to be in TIME magazine’s 100 Most Generous Person of 2009. Obviously, am kidding!=)

Ok, think of this. Remember the time, when you feel so blessed and you want to give back but don’t know how? This is the right time.

Kuya Daniel asks and I ask this too.. Isang Araw Lang po (Just One Day).

Fall in Love in a Snap

Posted on February 19, 2009. Filed under: Column | Tags: , , |

My mother tells me not to fall in love. She scolds me not to have a boyfriend.

But how can I not fall in love? After seeing Kuya Daniel’s online photo exhibit at www.danielrazon.com, I fell in love in a snap. I think I heard Visions of a Sunset played when I saw the photo of a sunset in the bay area of the Statue of Libery.

The two mysterious birds on a Victorian metallic table speak of a potential love-hate relationship. Look at how they position themselves. Bet you didn’t know they are situated at the two opposite side of the round table! But at a glance, you will notice as if they are side by side… like they have a mutual understanding? I wonder if birds fall in love too…

One would lower his pride and confess his feelings, after his nerves have been taken over by the sight of the lofty, Sequoia tree.

If not for these photos, I wouldn’t fall in love again. Sometimes we need to look beyond the things we see to appreciate its natural beauty. And these online photos are just a sample of his many artful works.

Kuya Daniel will tell you more about the story of capturing beyond what’s seen, through his second photo exhibit, Looking Beyond.

A picture worth a thousand words - Looking Beyond Photo Exhibit by Kuya Daniel Razon

Even a still photograph speaks

It will be showcased on the 26th of February at the Garden Ballroon, Edsa Shangri-la Hotel, Mandaluyong City.

 

The photos are for sale and the proceeds will go to the various public service programs such as  free bus ride, free train ride, free transient home, free legal consultation and many other free-bies.

Looking Beyond is presented by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International (BMPI), the same production that launched Kuya Daniel’s first photo exhibit, In My Eyes and the launched of the coffee table book last year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But whoever will go to the exhibit, there’s a warning though: Don’t fall in love  —  with the photographer. He is taken.
