2012 Year Ender: Some Shots Of Davao City Street Art




We know this is late. All apologies. 2012 Year Ender.


Photos taken last December 31, 2012 while walking at noon on the streets of Davao City. We think it's only fitting to end 2012 taking shots of street art in the form of tags, slaps, & graffiti.This is Botebakal Project looking back & paying respect to its roots. 

For those of you who didn't know, we started on the streets, slaps in hand, and no idea nor direction to head to as an organization. ( http://botebakalproject.blogspot.com/2012/01/month-ender.html )
For those of you that were with us during our humble beginnings throughout our organization's progress, thank you.

Last Day At CdeO For 2012 (Dec 21)- Amphitheater 3d VIsual Art Park Opening/ RPM Gig/ Roots Bar Rap Battle



2012 was truly Botebakal Project's year. We formed, we tested the waters, got tried, and got hung out to dry. We had our fair share of highs and lows in the organizations' 12 months of humble existence.

Being in this project made us aware of the local movements & allowed us to appreciate our city more. That being said, we'd like to take this late opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of our project throughout the year.

December 10- Chingkeetea Christmas Card Design Contest


Last December, Chingkeetea made it totally impossible for their customers not to feel the holiday spirit. Aside from the striking Christmas themed decoration "add-ons", a Christmas Card Design Contest was also held, open to everyone willing to not only showcase their artistic talents but share "tidings of comfort and joy" while having fun in the process. Registration was free with every purchase of one large red velvet milk tea.

Despite the original contest duration which ran from December 10 up to December 14, Ms. Chingkee decided to have it extended so more people can join. A winner was announced last January 3, and there were special prizes.The entries are still on display at Chingkeetea until the end of the month.

December 7 - Remember Sendong


Last December 7, a "rock revival event" entitled REMEMBER SENDONG was held as a non-profit cause to honor the memory of  the victims of 2011's Sendong tragedy. Also included in the event's objectives is to "part awareness and education towards better stewardship of our city".

This was spearheaded by Eggmen Productions ( http://www.facebook.com/EggmenProductions ) , in cooperation with Rhythm of Party & Music (RPM), plus other local productions ,talents, & sponsors.

Ironically,  some of the bands that were originally scheduled to perform weren't able to push through due to typhoon Pablo hitting the city earlier that month & causing damage to their residences.
