Photo of 'floating' DPWH officials causes uproar in cyberspace
By Karen Boncocan
MANILA, Philippines – A photo release of the Department of Public Works and Highways last Wednesday posted on a social networking site meant to show their officials conducting field inspection after the onslaught of Typhoon 'Pedring' (international codename: Nesat) drew a barrage of criticisms in cyberspace for having been allegedly "Photoshopped".
The photo, which had been pulled down from the Facebook account of the DPWH Central Office, showed DPWH Undersecretary Romeo Momo discussing Pedring's damages with DPWH National Capital Region Director Reynaldo Tagudando and DPWH South Manila District Engineer Mikunug Macud along Roxas Boulevard.
The photo made them appear to be standing over what was left of the seawall which shielded Roxas Boulevard from Manila Bay's waves.
But instead of being appreciated, the photo only gained disapproval from those who saw it, pointing out that the three officials seemed to be 'floating'.

Now, if you want to do something similar to the above, just find their "official" Facebook account by searching DPWHere. You can easily manipulate anything from a simple metal building to any image of any complex scenery you can find in your hard drive. It's as if you are just copying a text and pasting it to another document. :-)
