The 9-Day trip was fruitful and significant to achieve its goal in helping deepen the knowledge on Japan's Fishery policies, aquaculture,research and development, products and investments while at the same time nurture mutual understanding among young people who shall play important role in their respective countries. However, aside from various fisheries programs there are more to appreciate in Wakayama Prefecture in particular like natural scapes and sceneries, ancient temples and historical landmarks, hot springs, and tourism areas. Arts, culture, history, wildlife is something that can be explored more to deepen understanding about its people and environment.

The Picture Will Tell You Why

When a river flows like this, it tells the bounty of its source.
While promising the abundance of its outlet;
'Tis a flowing joy in the heart of man,
To see a running water with a echoing sound;
And yes, all the birds around chirp to the melody of rushing flow;
And all the leaves of green around all glow.

Thanks to the efforts of Busuanga Island Paradise for protecting their watershed.
The photos Will Tell Why.

It was by invitation by Tagbanwa Elder that I was able to witness these traditional practices they still perform today. On the 5th of October 2010 Tagbanwas showcase their living traditional songs, dances and drum beats all night until 3:00 am. My brother John and I were there to document the occasion. Being there has always been a lifetime privilege.
