Hi,
I would like to share some photos taken during the Philippines' kick off event of Wiki Loves Monument. I still have to come up with an official release, but I thought you can already be privy to what took place, despite an unexpected summer downpour 60 people managed to come plus our invited guests the Executive Director of the National Parks Development Committee, Vice President of the Heritage Conservation Society and Deputy Director of Creative Commons Philippines (we needed him to explain what free license is about).
These photoshttps://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.319832731404549&type=1 (posted here with permission) we're taken by one of the attendees who is a member of the 7,000-member strong "Bawal Mag-shoot dito" (It's prohibited to shoot here), in protest of some government agencies' policies prohibiting photography in public places where heritage sites are without paying a fee of around $50, for Wiki Loves Monument we got them to waive these fees.
Nice series, thanks for sharing!

Hi Roel,
thank you, this looks like a really impressing event :-)
I still have to come up with an official release,
May I invite you to write an article for our international blog (http://wikilovesmonuments.org) about this event? Would be definitely inspiring!

Hi Elya,
Thanks. I would like to post one, but I don't know how (just plain stupid). Hehe.

Hi Roel,
if you just write the text, and tell what (Wikimedia Commons) photo we should use, we can post it :)
