Third Party Videos

TUBBATAHA REEFS – Heart of the Philippine Seas [Documentary]

This was a commissioned work that did not see completion and later released. The quality of the documentary is excellent as are the video included. From the introduction in the video: In 2011, we were hired to document all of the Philippines’ UNESCO World Heritage Sites. However, because the key stakeholder client, the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) was restructured by the government in the middle of our project, the project stalled and our final work was never released. I’m releasing the videos that I can finish for educational purposes only, for the benefit of the general public. Published on the Aaron Palabyab YouTube channel.
