Amidst China’s ships lurking in Philippine territory, Quiambao documented and delved into the daily lives of Pinoys who showed their resilience on the Pag-Asa island, located in the contested sea zone.

Moreover, he also showed the damages caused by Chinese vessels in the reefs and another maritime resource.

Quiambao, who told stories with his lenses, urged the Filipinos to raise awareness about the perils our fellow citizens face daily in their backyard. “Whether through artistic expression, fact-checking social media content, or simply engaging in discourses, we can all contribute to amplifying the voices of those affected,” Quiambao said.

“Visual storytelling, particularly photography and through cartographic maps, offers powerful insights that help us better understand our maritime situation today,” he added, underscoring the power of photography and maps in stirring emotions and brewing discussions on maritime security that aim to inspire action.
