Read more of Securing the Future on ComputerWorld.com.ph.Public opinion rings true across the board: the Philippines has emerged as a significant player in the global IT market.
Since the first half of the decade, information and communications technology (ICT) has developed into a premier business sector in the country and has driven some of the Philippines’ fastest growing and most dynamic industries.

See in this album more of the photos I have taken from his exhibit which currently runs at Glorietta 3, near Zara and Marks and Spencer. I highly suggest that you take a visit and see Joey’s works personally. You won’t think that he started painting only in 2005.
