UPDATE: For more information on Lagalag, go to lagalag.moleskine.ph. Thanks to Benedict Bueno for the heads up.
WAS great to hear from Willi Pascual, whom I met once in 2004 when we won Palancas for the Essay (English) category — he won first prize for “Devotion” while I placed third for “Surviving the Zeroes.” Since then we’ve corresponded via e-mail every now and then.
Willi e-mailed me today to tell me about his new project, Lagalag, which will bring together 20 Filipinos in different countries who have never met but who will share a global journey by all taking pictures that they will share with each other via a traveling moleskine notebook on Flickr.
Check out the Lagalag preview on Willi’s blog. Here’s an excerpt:
A tattoed military man in Japan rescues a dying man inside a car.
A writer in Cambodia undergoes a painful ritual and loses himself in a foreign land.
A former recording artist discovers new wells of creativity in Canada.
A man in the gaming industry prowls the streets of Manila in search of lost messages.
