My photographer pal Arnel had convinced me that it was advantageous to my video career to take some footage of the Feast of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo. The last time I attempted this was around 5 years ago, so I pretty much knew what I was in for. We decided to head towards Echague street to see if any of my store owner friends would be willing to let us go up and shoot from their building, we were fortunate that Josie from Mostwell was very accomodating and let us up into their 3rd floor balcony. In the end though, me & Arnel had to climb down from the balcony onto the roof of the 2nd floor since lots of electrical wires were blocking our view. The footage I shot was awesome, the entire street was literally covered with a sea of people, it was total pandemonium as soon as the procession started.
