La Vallée
Alliance Total Gallery, Alliance Française de Manille, Makati City
Ongoing until April 29

The Alliance Française de Manille, with the support of the Embassy of France and in partnership with the National Museum, present this photography exhibition by French photographer Pierre de Vallombreuse. 

The exhibit features the most recent photographs taken by Vallombreuse in Palawan which he documented for 28 years. The French photographer lived with a Palawan tribe called Taw Batu or People of the Rock in the Signapan Valley for nearly three decades. He followed the tribe in their life in the valley from the late 1980s when no road existed, until today when the community now lives in an accelerated pace.
