About
This photoblog is all about photos - amateurish meanderings into pseudo-serious photography - by Gerry Ruiz, now based in Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines.
The site features photos mostly of the Eastern Visayas region (Leyte, Samar, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte and Biliran provinces) as well as some taken from other Philippine regions and major cities, and a few from other countries.
Gerry dabbles in photography, documentary videos, computers and eco-tourism. He plays the Korg and Yamaha keyboards when bored, with their retro band called “Past Forward” - this happens at least once a year. 
He writes, sometimes. 
The gerryruiz photoblog was launched on September 25, 2007. His first post was “Welcome to Tacloban!” View it here.

Hi Jenny!
Thank you for your comments! And, please, if you don’t mind, you can drop the ’sir’ thing.
Hi Gerry! I came across your photoblog when I was surfing the net for islands and beaches in Eastern Visayas that I want to visit next. I’m originally from Southern Leyte but live and work now in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I’m done with the Boracays of the Philippines and looking for out-of-the-way, off-the-beaten-path islands and beaches in the Philippines. Less crowded, much cheaper and very much natural paradise. Thanks for having this valuable resources you have here on the net. All the information you give to nature-seekers like me is… priceless.
