"Lantaw" is a
Hiligaynon word (one of Philippine's major dialects) which literally means "
view", either "a view of a place" or "an opinion". Having been brought up speaking this dialect, Allan believes that the word "lantaw" best embodies what this site is trying to achieve: to show case his interpretation of the places he has been fortunate to see at some point.
OK, now we have that 3rd person thing out of the way....
I love to travel and I am very passionate about the great outdoors - something which we still have plenty of here in the Philippines. I will probably be an amateur photographer forever and love shooting for myself. If you happen to like some of my photos, thank you very much!
I do have a day job, as most of us need something to pay the bills and fund this passion of ours. If your day job happens to be your passion as well, lucky you!
I try to promote Philippine tourism by showcasing off-the-beaten track destinations the best way I can through this site and this
Facebook page.
