IN ILOILO
Photo exhibit on impact
of typhoon extended

ILOILO CITY -- Ilonggos have been flocking to a photo exhibit by photojournalists and reporters on the impact of typhoon “Frank” that ravaged Panay Island in June.

The exhibit started July 26 at the lower ground floor of SM City Iloilo in Mandurriao District here and has been extended to August 8 to accommodate thousands of people who continue to come to see it.

“This is one of most successful photo exhibits held in the mall because the throngs of people have not receded,” said Troy Camarista of SM City Iloilo, in a telephone interview.

He said they decided to extend the exhibit because of the warm response of shoppers who said they can really connect with the photographs.

The exhibit was organized by the Press Photographers of the Philippines -Iloilo chapter with the help of the Photo Artists League of Iloilo Inc. and SM City Iloilo.

It includes around 90 photographs both published and unpublished taken by Iloilo photojournalists and reporters, Chris Fernandez, president of PPP-Iloilo said.

The photographs are of houses, churches and streets submerged in water, residents in waist high waters, evacuees and other scenes of the tragedy in Iloilo and Aklan.

The two were the hardest hit areas when the typhoon struck on June 21.

The Office of Civil Defense reported that at least 342 persons died during the typhoon in the Western Visayas region alone. Around 290 are still missing and 886 were injured.

The flooding affected around 2,545 villages and 417,399 families or 2,094,105 persons. At least 50,571 houses were destroyed and another 101,080 others damaged.

“We wanted to capture and share the scenes that move us especially the struggle to survive and to overcome this unprecedented disaster,” Fernandez said.*NPB
