“of spatial collective memory, the imprint of war, and the displacement of Marao residents. Taken on, May 24, 2019; Marawi Seige’s 2nd year anniversary. The Philippine government after waging war in Marawi has yet to fulfill their promise of place’s rehabilitation.“

77,000 families displaced. 24 barangays destroyed.
The most affected area (MAA) in Marawi is still closed to the public. Homeowners are still displaced, some still living in tents until now. Houses, looted and vandalized lay empty with a handful armed soldiers occupying some of it. Mosques lay in ruins. Barricades are up, checkpoints are in every corner, and civilians are not to loiter let alone go down their vehicles when they pass by ground zero. You can’t enter ground zero on foot.

MPos is a photographic project of people’s retrospective memory of their last happy moment in the form of “missing posters”.
These missing posters are to be posted in public spaces and in police bulletin boards in the aim to initiate a visual dialogue about how the system we belong to promotes individualism and consumerism that drives people to be unhappy.
In my interactions as I photograph, my subjects were almost always not sure how to answer the question “when were you last (genuinely) happy?” The answers vary but all were personal as they try to remember when they last laughed wholeheartedly.
The posters will feature different people. In the posters you will see a photo of a person smiling/laughing. Under the pictures are their respective ages and their “last seen” information. But unlike the regular missing persons posters, “last seen” will inform you that it’s not the person that’s missing. But rather these posters are asking you to help look for this one common trivial thing that we seem to have a hard time finding—- happiness.
