Chief Photographer and Journalist

Get to know Mark Balmores

Mark Balmores is the Chief Photographer at Manila Bulletin with 18 years of experience as a photojournalist, covering news, sports, and lifestyle stories that shape the nation’s narrative. His passion comes from witnessing history up close and giving it a face. For him, every assignment is more than just taking pictures—it’s about capturing raw, unfiltered moments that reveal both struggle and hope, amplifying voices that might otherwise go unheard. He protects his craft with the Raptor Air Trolley 6000, which securely carries his two cameras, two lenses, and laptop. Built for movement, its rugged design and thoughtful compartments keep his gear safe and organized whether he’s rushing to a press conference, chasing breaking news, or traveling for personal projects. With Raptor’s reliability, he’s always ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. “With Raptor, I feel confident because my gear is always secure, organized, and ready whenever the story breaks.”
