There may be a reason why you stumbled upon my page today.

by Jojie

My photography is simple in composition, more often emotional and dramatic, but easy on the eyes. Because of my orientation as a painter and artist, I view each capture as evocative scenes I want to brush on canvas. The changing header you see above are snippets of my life as a photojournalist all these years.

Here's an impressive Jose Rizal Square in Jinjiang, China where the government paid homage to Rizal by erecting an 18.61 feet tall (based on his birth year) monument, the tallest Rizal commemorative structure outside the Philippines by far. Jinjiang has embraced Rizal as its son, acknowledging his Chinese ancestral roots as the historical ties between the Philippines and China that is kept alive through Rizal’s paternal lineage. According to the plaza marker, his line can be traced back to the first generation Ke family ancestor, Old Man at the edge of the pond, at Nan-Tang. Both Chinese and Filipino historians have confirmed Rizal's Chinese ancestry, that he was the 22nd generation descendant of the Ke family. Rizal’s great, great grandfather named Domingo Lamco (also called Lam-co, Cua Yi Lam in Hokkien or Ke Yi-nan in Mandarin) was a native of Sionque, in the Chinchew district of the province of Fookien. He migrated to the Philippines and settled in Calamba in 1697. Lam’s acknowledged descendant was Juan Mercado, father of Francisco Mercado, who was Rizal’s father. . . In 1999, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Fu Ying, accompanied then Philippine President Joseph Estrada to lay the foundation of the memorial. Construction formally began in 2003. The towering bronze-cast monument was erected in the center of the park, surrounded by colorful flowers and greens. Dr. Jose Rizal was a Filipino of ethnic Chinese descent and revered as a national hero of the Philippine revolt against the Spanish colonialism. He was convicted of sedition and sentenced to death by firing squad in Manila on December 30, 1896, making a heroic sacrifice of dying for his country at only thirty-five years old. . #JoseRizal
