MIRTH OF THE ISLANDS: : A Photoexhibit on the Philippines

Introduction:

This is a collection of 30 photographs taken by the Pinoy Overseas Photographers (POP) Beijing during a trip to Samar and Leyte, two provinces located in the central part of the Philippines which face the Pacific Ocean.

The photographs reflect the sentiments, pastimes, joys and values of the Filipino people in the whole Philippine archipelago, which has a total coastline of 36,289 kilometers and encompasses over 7,100 islands.   

This photoexhibit will travel across China in the Years of Friendly Exchanges (YFE) in 2012-2013, which celebrate the centuries-old friendship and goodwill between the two nations.

The images convey to the Chinese people the warm, friendly spirit of the Filipino people, and highlight the fact that Filipinos and the Chinese share an important cultural affinity: they both place a high premium on harmony with family, community and nature.  

The theme also dovetails with the new campaign of the Philippines’ Department of Tourism, “It’s More Fun in the Philippines.”


海岛之悦，菲律宾图片展
介绍：

本展览收集了在京海外菲律宾摄影师(POP)在萨马和莱特旅行途中拍摄的30幅照片，两地是菲律宾中部面向太平洋的两个省。

这些照片反映了整个菲律宾群岛上菲律宾人民的情感、娱乐、欢乐、价值观，菲律宾群岛海岸线总长36289公里，包含7100多个岛屿。

本图片展将在2012-2013友好交流年(YFE)期间在全中国巡回展出，2012-2013友好交流年(YFE)期间将庆祝我们两国几个世纪以来的友谊与善意。

这些画面向中国人民表达了菲律宾人民热情、友好的精神，突出了菲中两国人民重要的文化相似性：他们都高度重视与家庭、社会和自然的和谐。

这一主题也与菲律宾旅游部的“更多乐趣尽在菲律宾”的新运动相吻合
