Last October 11, 2014, I was invited to the official launching in GenSan of the DOON PO SA AMIN VIDEO COMPETITON together with SMART and GenSan Tourism at  Greenleaf Hotel.

There are representatives from GenSan Tourism and Sarangani Province Tourism to talk about places to go here in the region and of course the cultural heritage, also some programs and activities that they are doing. I’m just honored to be invited for I’ve learned a lot and met awesome people! Plus the food is superb!

So let’s get to the point, what is this DOON PO SA AMIN VIDEO COMPETITON?

Doon Po Sa Amin is the biggest online mapping activity in the country, designed to uncover the best and most unique stories about the Philippine culture and heritage. This is Open to all HS and college students, young professionals and film-making enthusiasts.


There are just three easy breezy steps that you must remember: COLLABORATE, CREATE, SHOOT.

COLLABORATE! Form a team which consists of 8-10 members. There is the student division (the HS and college students) and the open division (Independent filmmaking enthusiasts).

CREATE! Pick a category from the following: activities to enjoy, food, history to uncover, people to meet, places to go, plants and animals, community products to support.

SHOOT! Make a video with the following format or combine it all together: animation, documentary, music video, and short film.
