"I didn't know I was preserving a memory."

This is my village in the Philippines.

I climbed a mountain in 2017 to capture this view.

Years later, a devastating typhoon changed the landscape, destroyed rice fields, and took lives.

What was once just a photograph has become a memory of home as it used to be.

With only 1 day and 10 hours left in the semifinals of America's Favorite Photos, I'm honored to share this piece of my story.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey. ❤️🇵🇭🙏📸
