BUTUAN CITY — The clock is ticking for art lovers and nature enthusiasts as the acclaimed photo exhibit, “Earth in Focus,” enters its final day at the 3rd Level Cinema Hallway of SM City Butuan. Featuring the award-winning work of photojournalist Erwin Mascariñas, this visual masterpiece concludes its week-long run today, April 28, 2026.
In a powerful display of community and media synergy, Diyaryo Karaga and Mindanao Daily have officially partnered with SM City Butuan, who hosted the event, to ensure this urgent message of environmental conservation reaches every corner of the region. This unique partnership has turned the city’s premier shopping destination into a hub for world-class advocacy and breathtaking artistry.
The exhibit offers an intimate look at Mindanao’s rarest life forms, capturing everything from the piercing gaze of raptors to the delicate beauty of the region’s ecosystems. For those who haven’t yet walked the hallway, today is the final opportunity to experience the “heartbeat” of our islands through Mascariñas’ lens.
The showcase has been a major success, supported by figures such as Congressman Dale Corvera and Congresswoman Arlene “Kaka” Bag-ao, alongside the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity.
FINAL OPPORTUNITY:
The doors close this evening! We urge all Butuanons and visitors to make their way to the 3rd Level Cinema Hallway of SM City Butuan before the exhibit is packed away. Witness the majesty of our natural world one last time—once today is over, the focus shifts, and this unique journey ends.
