Introducing: Mark Gaspar

This time, let me introduce Mark Gaspar, the person who interpreted La Juventud Filipina / To the Filipino Youth in Filipino Sign Language (FSL) with members of the SILENT STEPS, an all-Deaf performing group. Dr. Jose Rizal wrote it in 1879 when he was 18 years old. It was adjudged as the best poem written by a native or a mestizo in the Liceo Artistico-Literario of Manila. Below are some shots taken during our shooting in front of the Rizal Monument at Luneta Park on May 5, 2011.
