A simple guy from the Phils who spent so much of his matured life far from the cajoles of his family. A wanderer, a traveler and a loner.
I am maybe a little of everything.
If there is one thing that I can be proud of, that is: I’ve seen a big part of the world. Switzerland has been a second home for six years. And Now, Japan looks like the third.

Hope to have friends of the same interest. I love traveling specially to the countryside.

So I wish that my photos and yours be the bridge that will constantly connect us.

Last note: I don't mean to be mean. I mean, I don't mean to be rude, but I have to remove previous contacts who I reciprocated to add but never considered to be kind enough to visit me, :-(. My list is getting long but few have remained loyal. Some were just clatters on my flickrfox.

I traveled too in my own country but there are still a lot of cool destinations I dream about. Like Palawan, Batanes, Boracay, Camotes Islands and nearby islands, etc.

    "This is my first time writing testimonial for a Flickr friend and it's frickin' 1:30am here already...LOL! Anyways, Francis (or FoNgEtZ) is a very talented photographer with great sense of humor. His comments will make you laugh which makes flickring more fun. I admire all his work and inspires me to always to do the very best that I can. In fact he was the first person here in Flickr world who lied to me by commenting "Great stream Jay.. When I was starting photography my shots were all crappy.. but yours are already like a pro"...hahaha...just kidding about lying but that was his comment.

    Thanks BFF...keep it up and inspire more people!"

    "Francis is one of my flickr contacts and one of my favorite photographers. His work is not more than just taking photography but its more than amazing post processing work. His processing is just fantastic. Some of his images are most awe-inspiring images around. I am always waiting for his next image to see. You will always find just good photographs by Francis on flickr. I really love his work, so creative and attractive. I must say that his photographs are truly spectacular. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is such a good to have contact like Francis. Thanks for having me as your contact. I wish all the best to you and keep up with the good work!"

    "You just have to have a look at this photostream. Francis has a very diverse stream, with brilliant macros, stunning landscapes and some genuine, caring Social Commentary. His images are regularly in Explore, he has a huge amount of regular followers and yet still is able to make the time to offer support and encouragement to a learner!

    Thanks mate, I always look forward to seeing your new posts."

    ""Francis is one of the few photographers in flickr I admire most. He has attracted a large number of followers too (at least I'm not alone). If you dig deep in his stream, you'll find some hidden gems and treasures. You see fragments of his life, his preference, creativity. In fact, I often find myself discovering new approaches and techniques.
    So if you want to know Francis more, spend some time browsing his stream.

    Keep it up my friend! Thanks for sharing :)" - Ed M.

    "Francis is an exceptional photographer.
    His ability from behind the lens is unmistakable. At the time of writing this so richly deserved testimonial, this modest man has amassed an amazing forty shots on Explore. That alone speaks for his obvious ability and a glance through his photostream would soon confirm.

    But, that aside, Francis is also a great Flickr allie, always there to provide constant support and encouragement. I look forward to a long and fun-filled friendship. Keep the pictures coming."
