Franco is a Top Gear Philippines reader who got started with his personal obsession with the magazine when a friend traded him an issue for a carving of a Ferrari. From a single block of wood. With working doors and full interior.

The data demonstrated that critical documentary making is a pedagogically rich classroom ac- tivity, providing holistic experiences for pupils through connecting school life with the outside world; facilitating pupils’ explorations of societal issues which may support a sense of belong- ing to the wider community; empowering pupils to develop skills which can be used for voice and to make a difference; and enabling pupils to learn to critically read the media and become competent with information and communication technology which is transferable to other school activities.
