Light
and Sound
I've posted some videos I made for Back to the Bible -
Philippines, International Bible Society, Christ Enthroned
Church, Faith Bible Church, Proclaim His Name Christian
Fellowship and others from 2003 up to today. I mainly used
Sony Vegas 7 for my work since it’s the most easiest to
handle, requires less CPU horsepower and the changes I make
(plus the video preview) are in real time.
For the audio productions, I used Sound Forge 9 (for editing)
and Vegas Pro 8 (for mixing). Most of it are for my radio
segments and two are for radio dramas for the Lenten and
Christmas Seasons.

Suicidal
Na Naman
Video, Wala Lang
I
was minding my own business one hot and humid morning. The
moment I got off from my shuttle service, I knew there was
something wrong because there were hundreds of uziseros near
our office. It turned out to be yet another tarpaulin
billboard suicide attempt in Metro Manila. Really, minsan
gusto ko ng itulak iyong mga taong gustong magpakamatay kasi
marami silang naaabala at nalalagay pa sa peligro yung buhay
nuong nangre-rescue! Translation: I pity da fool!

History
Video, Back to the Bible
On May 1, 1939, Theodore
Epp began the Back to the Bible Broadcast. Despite low mail
responses and an even lower income to pay for the radio
program bills, the broadcasts produced its very first
convert – Mrs. Louise Jantzen, who later became a missionary
to Africa. But the clouds of war were gathering over Europe.
On September 1, 1939, five months after the broadcasts
began, German Luftwaffe and Panzers attacked Poland. World
War II had begun.
The
Mindanao Missions
Project
Part One

Back to the Bible
Muslims appreciate prayer. Five times a day devout Muslims
bow before God. If prayer time comes when they are in the
middle of work, play or any activity, they will kneel and
pray.

Back to the Bible
When we meet a Muslim, we say “Salam alekum” or
Peace be upon you. He will then respond, “We alekum salam”
which means “And on you peace.” Peace is so elusive in
Mindanao today. But we believe through our radio broadcasts
and the work of our supported missionaries, pastors,
Christian teachers and other church workers, peace will
someday come to the land of the Moros.
Just like what the
Muslims say, Enshallah
-- the future is in God’s hands.
Heart
Beat (2004 - 2006)
Radio Segment, Back to the Bible
Heart Beat
was a short feature over Heart Line, a radio
counseling program by Back to the Bible - Philippines.
Narrated by Rexey Angeles Domingo, it was aired on 2004 and
2006. Heart Beat
is all about finding encouragement and hope by finding
Bible-based truths from pop music mostly from the 1990s.
Missions
and Scholarships (Presentation)
Video,
Back to the Bible
Back to the Bible – Philippines believes in the energy and
the zeal of the Christian youth. That’s why, for two decades
the ministry has supported hundreds of Bible school students
by providing them scholarship grants and helping them pay
for their tuition fees. Hundreds of financially challenged
yet deserving students have achieved their dreams of
pursuing higher education in Bible seminaries through Back
to the Bible’s International Scholarship Fund.
Father’s
Day Promo
Video,
Christ Enthroned Church
Rev.
Al Termulo, senior pastor of Christ Enthroned Church,
requested that I produce a Father’s Day promo for our
church. Knowing that most Father’s Day events in church were
usually serenading and giving gifts to fathers, I decided to
take on a new approach through videos. I tried to put
together all the memorable “father moments” that I’ve seen
in the movies and try to come up with a very sentimental
presentation.
Purpose
Driven Life Promo (Presentation)
Video,
Christ Enthroned Church
Rev.
Al Termulo, senior pastor of Christ Enthroned Church,
requested that I produce a promo for the 40 Days Purpose
Driven Life Campaign in our church. Since this video promo
was after I did the Father’s Day Promo, I decided to use the
same approach of splicing some “purpose moments” from the
cinema. It’s not as clear-cut like my previous presentation
but I had fun doing it.

greeting her and wishing her another half century of
blessings.

Interview
ABOUT
THE WEBSITE
Q.
Is this really your website?
A.
No. Just because this site has my name on it, has news about
me, my work, photos, interests, projects and favorites, plus
the fact that the URL has my name on it doesn’t mean it’s
mine. You know what? Maybe it’s my evil twin’s website!
Q.
Uhm, okay. No need to be sarcastic --
A.
Me!? Sarcastic!? Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The truth is I would have liked to insult you, but the sad
truth is that you wouldn’t understand me.
Q.
I don’t understand --
A.
Never mind. What I wanted to say is that my homepage is a
great place to update people and friends of the family of
the latest news and events about us. I personally like the
fact that everything I’m into is a few Mozilla or Explorer
clicks away.
Q.
Did you do this website?
A.
I did everything by myself during my spare time – which
means I’m not playing video games or watching movies. It
wasn’t easy, but it was fun. I think, in total, I spent
almost five years of spare time working on this.
Q.
Why do you write in English if you are a Filipino?
A.
More people read English and I have a number of visitors who
are from different parts of the world. Thus, it would be
more practical to use a language that the majority of the
world understands. Plus, it’s easier for me to express
myself in English.
Writing in English allows me to get in
touch with people from all over the world, which is the best
quality that the Internet has. I am not planning to do a
Filipino version of this site, but I seldom write anything
interesting anyway so you can just watch the videos and look
at the pictures.
Q.
What do you do for a living and what was your college major?
A.
I’m a Promotions Specialist for an international Christian
organization. Back in college, I studied Broadcast
Communications. I'm always doing some small projects to pay
bills or buy stuff that I need, but usually it's not worth
mentioning.
Q.
Who asked you to mention it?
ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS
Q.
Let’s talk about relationships.
A.
I’m not married.
Q.
Okay then, let’s talk about your absence of any
relationship. Why do you think people avoid you like the
Bubonic Plague?
A.
I think it’s because others perceive me as being
undemonstrative and self-controlled (the Uber-nerd, as
such). Not wanting to be the center of attention, I just
silently support others, which is what I did for this guy
named Darth Sidious. I told him to lay off his stunt of
ruling the universe with this “force” thing. Last time I
heard, he fell inside a space station’s fusion reactor.
Q.
Maybe you want to be alone most of the time.
A.
Well, yes but that doesn’t mean I don’t like parties. I tend
to be a traditionalist, and enjoy the social environment
best if it is stable and predictable.
For example, if I get
invited to a party, I'm not comfortable with the party
turning dark and dreary, and having maidens sacrificed over
a Druid monolith at the crypt while people in hooded robes
chant phrases like "Martha Stewart is god."
I prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict
and hostility. In that environment, I prefer reassurance of
my involvement and self-worth. I think that was the basic
thing I learned at the sanitarium along with my fellow
inmates.
I like to be loyal to others. My loyalty shows in a
variety of ways including my "staying power" with
relationships and activities.
But lately, most of my friends
have been exercising their own “staying power” by telling me
to stay away from them for at least 50 meters (as specified
by the court order). They would say things like, “Sit, stay,
roll over!” or “Back off!” while pointing a finger two
inches from my face.
I think I’m a good friend and I’m always willing to
help those I consider to be my friends, although I’ve helped
a lot of people who have perceived me to be the enemy.
And
after years of helping my enemies, guess what? They still
consider me as an enemy. Don’t you just love the
consistency?
Q.
Excuse me, I have to cut you. I sort of dozed off when you
were talking about parties – could you repeat everything you
just said? |
