Memories of Old Taytay: The People, Landmarks, and The Man Who Saved Them on Film
Avelino Zapanta picked up a camera in the 1960s. His albums are now helping protect historic Taytay.
(SPOT.ph) Avelino “Lino” Zapanta is writing his autobiography. For a man born in 1942, it is easy to imagine the pleasure and contentment that comes with piecing together a life well-lived. And yet, squeezing a full life’s history into a handful of chapters is no small feat.Zapanta, after all, has worn a lot of different hats over the last eight decades. He was once a playful boy running around a very different, rural Taytay; later, a diligent man working his way up the ladder at Philippine Airlines (PAL). Eventually, he took on his most recognized role as PAL’s president and chief operating officer, famously steering the nation’s flag carrier through some of its rockiest years. There have been many other hats before, after, and in between: student, professor, congressional candidate, husband, and father.But it is his love for photography that recently brought Zapanta’s name back into the local spotlight. An exhibition put together by the Taytay Advocates of Cultural Heritage Inc. and United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) Rizal Nuevo featured Zapanta’s personal collection to showcase the evolution of the municipality. For the organizers, his early hobby of carrying a camera around turned him into an unplanned documentor of Taytay’s history, from ancestral homes to the daily lives of regular people.
