PALANCA prizewinning essayist Wilfredo Pascual e-mailed me to say that a video of “Lagalag: The Traveling Journal of Filipinos Project” is now on YouTube.
Here’s the clip:
As I said in my previous post, the project will bring together 20 Filipinos in different countries who have never met before, one of whom is based here and whom you might be familiar with, heh 
The twenty Filipinos who are involved in this project will share their photos and images in one traveling notebook, and post a picture of their page on Flickr. Each participant will mail the notebook to the next person, so that the journal will make its way from one country to another.
Awesome project, isn’t it? Kudos to Willi, the master conjurer of words and now images, who won first prize in the Essay-English category in the 2004 Palanca Awards for “Devotion,” the same year I won third prize for “Surviving the Zeroes” in the same category.
Click here for more details on the project mechanics, and here for the Lagalag Flickr group. An official site at lagalagproject.com is now also under construction.
