"My family and I moved to Australia just this February, just before the lockdown. My wife works in analytics for ANZ and got transferred here."
Dahil dito, kinailangang iwan nina Darrel at ng kanyang pamilya ang buhay nila sa Pilipinas.
"I was working as an interior designer and playing for Talahib People's Music, a folk band that has been performing for 20 years."

"When we had a baby, my wife and I decided I would do freelancing instead so I can take care of him while she was at work."
Habang inaalagaan niya ang kanilang anak, natutong kumuha ng litrato at video si Darrel.

"I would take a lot of photos and videos of our baby and family trips. My friends would also bring me along to their shoots for weddings and events."
Para sa iba
Mula sa isa sa kanyang mga kaibigang ito, nakuha niya ang ideyang tumulong sa mga kapwa niyang Pilipino sa Australya.
"He offered his video services free for people trying to sell food online during the lockdown. I decided to do the same for the Filipinos here, especially international students."
"Food needs good visuals. Videos will allow their product posts to stand out."
Mga anim hanggang walong videos ang inaasikaso ni Darrel kada gawa niya. Apat na oras ang nilalaan niya sa bawat proyekto.
"The only issue sometimes is I don't have a car. When the person I'm doing a video for also doesn't have a car, we just meet halfway in a train station."
Kahit mahirap, hindi nag-aalangan si Darrel na tumulong.
"There was a student who just was selling food just so she could pay for her last semester of school. It makes me feel good when I can help people like that in my own small way."
