About myManila
Mabuhay! I'm Peter Tongco and this is my photoblog.
I started this blog June 2003 to showcase Metro Manila and the rest of the Philippines. Whether you're a Filipino abroad looking for pics of the city or have lived in Manila since childhood, this photoblog tries to represent the city we call our own. Since then I've moved much of photo blogging into Instagram instead and focused on Infographics.
Something about me, I've lived in the Metro for more than 20 years now. I studied here and I graduated with a degree in BS Computer Science and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I also work here and I'm currently with Globe Telecom in BGC, Taguig.
I'm an amateur photographer, everything I know about photography was learned on the fly. I mostly use Nikons (Coolpix 2500, Coolpix 4800 and a Nikon D50) along with several camera phones (Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5, though we previously used iPhone's, Blackberry's and Nokia's). My favorite disposable camera is the Kodak water and sport disposable camera.
