Flashback to April 2006.

Manny Librodo and Marc Aviles were both awarded “Highly Commended” status for their photos under the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2006: Powerful Portraits category. Manny’s winning entry was “MYSTIC“ while Marc’s winning entry was “Mother and Child“.

Fastforward one month later (May 2006)

Richard Larios, another Filipino bagged the top spot in Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2006: Dramatic Landscapes category with his “Mangrove tree” photo.

Fastforward to July, 2006 

Ruel Tafalia, also another Filipino based in Singapore, was awarded the “Commended” status for his winning photo “High Speed Boat” for the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2006: Action & Movement category.

Fastforward to present time.

Watch out for the results of the Black & White Category. Good luck to Manny Librodo, Richard Larios and Phoebe Aviles (Marc’s wife) who have several editor’s choice and reader’s choice photos which got in the Black & White category. Voting will close August 30, 2006. Hopefully another Filipino photographer will bag the top spot.

Best of luck to Manny and Richard who will be vying for the overall Digital Camera Magazine Photographer of the Year 2006.

This definitely is the year for Filipino photographers. Hopefully there will be more Filipino photographers who will be getting the top spots next year.

Thanks to Sir Manny Librodo and Marc Avila for giving additional info on other fellow Filipino photographers who won in the contest.
