Fishermen, scientists, and environmental activists have been at work for decades in imaginary constructs called marine protected areas. This grand experiment started in Apo Island, through the work of one scientist, nearly 40 years ago.
Last 2016, GRID and a couple of hardy outdoorsmen went up the Cordilleras for the first GRID Expedition. But for the whole team, the real hero of the trip was Chef Nayna.
The GRID Expedition I is a 9-day series of our team blazing a trail through northern Luzon, home to some of the Philippines’ most diverse terrains, lead by Jp Alipio and his team of adventurers, mountain runners, and conservation advocates.
At GRID, we have always believed that the pretty destinations are secondary to the various reasons we travel. In Issue 10, we honor the people who have enabled us to experience the Philippines in different and better ways with a series of short films
From Bohol’s journey of rising above the rubble, to the new generation that is reinventing Culion, we celebrate the people and spirit behind every destination.
This issue is ripe with aspiration—both in the stories we tell and behind the scenes at GRID, as a new generation of storytellers begin to take the fore.
