In one of my earlier posts this year, I featured Leonard Pe, a talented young general who was mounting his first solo photo exhibit dubbed as “Earthscapes“ at the City Hall lobby, in celebration of the Earth Day.
During that time, one of his works, won the Silver Award in the 2007 Project Clean Water Photography Contest of the Greenpeace Southeast Asia making the exhibit even more signifact.
Just very recently, Leonard was once again in the news when no less than the Manila Bulletin published a 4-page spread about his works and his passion for photography in its Picture Perfect Section, in its October 14 edition.
Written by Yugel Losorata, the article was entitled “A GenSan pride“.
Here is an excerpt:
One artistic gem is Leonard Pe, born and raised in General Santos City. His photographs of nature capturing the sceneries within the area has been his way of saying there is more to see in his hometown and that the “Tuna Capital of the Philippines” showcases more than being associated to the admired “National Fist”.
Below is the scanned picture of the front page of the newspaper insert.

Here are two of Leonard’s photographs featured in the spread.
“Bahay Kubo”. This photo was shot in a field in Barangay Tambler.
“Siquijor”.

Congratulations Leonard! Bariles Republic and am sure, the whole of GenSan are very proud of you. Now for those one-on-one photography lessons you promised, I am more than ready. 🙂

@Leonard Pe –
Great! Impressive move. Surely it will be on our itinerary the next time we’re home. It will be a splendid venue for you to market your work, as museum often have a souvenir shops as well as collectable works.More power to you.
unsay DEVIANT name ni sir leonard?
ang kulang na nlng is ang signature banner nya…….
Bravisimo!!!Ang galing ng “Bahay Kubo” scene. My interpretation to it is that sa kabila ng kahirapan sa buhay (kubo+cloudy skies) is that there is still HOPE (sunshine). Ang galing!!!Bow po ako sa iyo Mr. Pe. Aba at sa ganda, at sa pagka-dramatic ng pagkakakuha ng larawan ay akalain mong kuha ito sa Ireland. hehehe
ay thats good!! converting the old city hall into the official museo de dadiangas. good idea indeed!!.:-)
@aab
Thank you po 🙂
About the museum.. there’s an on going plan of converting the old city hall building into the city’s official museum
The newly formed General Santos City Culture and the Arts Council (GSCCAC) is part of pushing this plan to reality.
At present, NDDU is housing the GSC museum.
Congratulations to Leonard Pe!! I truly felt very proud knowing General Santos City in now home of ambitious and highly skilled young “Generals”!! We’re not just hard working people but also the finest in the country.
To L Pe: maybe you can share some of your great achievements to a future museum? 🙂
To Orman and Avel: how about starting a GenSan museum…talk to your Kuya Jun? 🙂 or is it in existence without my knowing/knowledge?
WOW MGANDA ANG PAGKAKUHA// PARANG HINDI TLGA CYA SA MINDANAO..
@Gilbertyaptan
Thanks, and yes, I’m planning to do another exhibit next year 🙂
@Leonard Pe – WOW! parang paintings ang shots mo! they remind me of a film I once saw – Barry Lyndon. Dapat magkaroon ka ng exhibit dito sa gensan.
