Some of the people behind
this month's features tell us
about the best gifts they ever
received from their dads
Jonathan Evans
Writer
For this issue
visited
Davao City for the first time
after months of reading
about it and meeting up
with friends who wouldn’t
stop talking about it
Up next?
“This month I’m
venturing north to Malaysia
to explore the revitalized
city of Ipoh and the nearby
Cameron Highlands.”
Best gift ever from dad
“This miraculous pair of
headphones that block
out virtually every irritant
encountered on a flight,
including engine noise and
screaming infants.”
Lester V Ledesma
Writer and photographer
For this issue
checked out
how Bangkok’s well-known
hive for backpackers has
changed over the years
“At the moment I’m…
getting paid to explore my
favorite country.”
Anything you want to
pass on to your kid?
“When my daughter Leanne
is ready to go off and
explore the world, I’m going
to hand her pictures of her
old man posing in whichever
country she’s visiting. I want
her to take her own souvenir
pictures in the exact
same spots!”
Ronald
Achacoso
Painter, art critic and
Sunday botanist
For this issue
shared
a preview of his vast
wealth of knowledge on
Philippine flora
Up next?
“There’s
the constant juggling
act of painting,
writing, gardening and
immersing myself in
the wilderness. Each of
these passions feeds all
the others.”
Favorite travel advice
from dad
“Travel light
and don’t forget to bring
your Swiss Army knife.”
Ivan Sarenas
Photographer
For this issue
shared rare
photographs taken deep in
the interior of remote forests
Current project
“I just
formed the Philippine
Wilderness Land Trust with
other naturalists to purchase
and protect critical habitats in
the country.”
Best gift from dad
“An air
rifle for hunting, something
that I’d like to deny. But it was
normal to have one when I
was growing up and it made
me go and be comfortable
in the great outdoors. These
days, the only shooting I do is
with a camera.”
