French journalist Sebastien Farcis and photographer Romaine Rivierre, in a team-up with Alliance Française de Manille and the United Nations Development Program, recently launched a photo exhibit on Filipina transsexuals called "Woman Soul."
"Woman Soul" is a multi-sensory exhibit that features the images and voices of transsexuals in the country. It takes the viewer and listener through the lives of the women as they affirm their sexual identity, despite the rejection and discrimination of family and society. Among them are Bemz Benedito, Rica Paras, Sass Rogando Sasot and an entertainer named Britney.
