  "I think his long list of testimonials say alot. I've discovered that the photographic community here, in true Filipino tradition, is a family. It's been a real pleasure discovering it, knowing this alternative exists. Jojo is a Photographic Barangay Kaptain who has done so much for the development of the art of photography and community in the Philippines. He is also a champion of culture and history, the consumate teacher, and he does it all with the aplomb of an educational TV comedy host... at pogi pa sya. Parang lagi sya nag babantay sa amin. Maraming maraming salamat Sir Jojo."

  "Uncle Jobie to the young girls,and much like a brother to me, Jobar is one of the few street photographers I admired for his unconventional take of the mundane life in the streets. Much as he is adored for his photography, he is also "Mr. Friendship" of Flickrlandia!"

  "Sir jobar! i think the first person that i met here in flickr.. sa kanya ako bumuntot sa first photowalk na sinamahan ko. napakabait na tao at di nauubusan ng kwento. masaya kasama at magaling na guro.. hindi lang sa kalokohan, pati rin sa pag bigay ng payo. sabihin mo lang sa kanya for sure tutulungan k nya. yan yung first impression ko kay sir jobar very accommodating and always there to extend help o umalalay lalo na sa mga bago katulad namin.. isang trait ng magaling guro. kaya saludo ako sa iyo sir! salamat sa lahat!"

  "Visiting his flickr stream is like traveling
  in a realm we often choose to ignore.
  He captures life the way it should be captured--real, raw, intrinsic and honest.
  I can spend several hours a day looking at his photographs and never get bored. More than just being technically-superb, his pictures overflow with emotions, some can make you cry, others make you laugh but most go straight to your elan.
  
  Jobarracuda a.k.a Uncle Jobie is an altruistic soul
  filled with childish glee,
  a persistent mentor,
  a zany friend,
  a divine companion,
  a reliable critic and nitpicker,
  and undeniably, a wizard when it comes to photography! (wizard daw oh, nagmamagic, ayus.)
  tama na pambobola, baka lumaki ulo mo, sige ka di rin magkakasya sa passport picture! nyahaha.
  
  You are the best uncle jobie
  and i am really honored to have met you :-)"

  "bumped into this man in the streets of quiapo, asking me for directions. i wondered.... how is it that a guy with a nice dslr strapped around his neck is lost in this place. i found out that he wasnt lost, rather was looking for a soul to cheer up---it happened to be me at that time. i met him again in another place, he shared his ideas, cracked jokes from time to time. cheered more people this time. then i realized im learning so much from this man, whom i found out later that he his heart is bigger than the laughter he is able to bring to people. His pictures are like ripe fruits, picked at their best time and shared to the world. Kuya keep that light shining! astigin!!!
  ps
  ok, he wasnt asking me for directions when we first met....just thot it would be a good intro hehe *(",)*"

  "in a short span of one month, he has helped me in finding more ways to shoot and compose a photograph.
  
  more than being a mentor, he has become an inspiration, an advisor, a friend, and a part of me -thus the term uncle jobie.
  
  i thank Tinz for the chance to know Jobarracuda. i thank photography for the cahnce to be with my one and only Uncle Jobie!:)"

  "Oliver or "Jobar", in simple words, is one of the finest Filipino photographers we have here. His works on portraits has inspired many photographers, including myself. Loaded with beautiful images with fascinating stories behind it, his photostream is definitely a pleasure to visit. Keep those wonderful shots coming, Jo!"

  "His composition Noli Me Tangere certainly left an indelible mark in my journey in photography. The moment I saw it, I became more convinced that social documentary photography would be my pursuit. It helped spark my desire to get into this.
  
  And now that I am into this, I go back to this photo from time to time. Noli Me Tangere is a source of inspiration.
  
  Thank you Sir and more power!"

  "Kuya Jo is a great inspiration not only to me but to many flickrites out there. His photos always engage you because of the stories that accompany it. The people he captures through his camera inspires and teach you a thing or two about life. Kudos to you Kuya and keep on shooting :)"

  "Kuya Jo is more than just an icon to me but a brother I dearly adore and admire. He knows my soul and understands my feelings. Truely someone who I can identify with.
  
  He hit the ground running when he owned a camera and in such a short span, I have idolized his works and has been more than amazed at how he is able to capture precious life and street moments and how he connects with his subjects.
  
  Kuya Jo, being pro doesnt matter, the trip towards that goal or whatnots is more than sufficient to fulfil our utmost satisfaction and happiness. I wish you more endearing photos to come.
  
  Thank you for being an inspiration.
  
  Reuel"
