During those three years, we advocated art for all by working closely with communities, schools, and the public to mount exhibits, workshops, and contests in key cities around the Philippines. These were featured in the Philippine Star, our project partner, as well as in local media, and a cultural series in regional cable channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make all these possible, we collaborated with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, and the Shell Companies of the Philippines; as well as the Philippine Star, Center Stage Productions, and Finale Art File.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, we were able to have a glimpse of what makes Philippine art unique, and how close family ties, ingenuity, and a sense of community have played key roles in its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen how Filipino art has flourished through families like the Abellanas of Cebu; as well as those of masters Mauro Malang Santos, Jose Pitok Blanco, and Eduardo Castrillo whose children \u2013 and in some cases grandchildren \u2013 now represent a new generation visual artists. There are also wonderful examples of how art ties fathers and sons together \u2013 National Artist Abdulmari Imao and Toym, National Living Treasure Eduardo Mutuc and Eduardo, Jr., Ricarte Puruganan and Victor, Manuel Baldemor and Monnar, Romulo Olazo and Jonathan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Family members have also played significant roles in preserving the artistic legacies of their loved ones: Josie Baldovino for her brother National Artist Jose Joya, Daisy Tolentino-Mendez for her father National Artist Guillermo Tolentino, and Totong Francisco II for his grandfather National Artist Carlos Botong Francisco. We were both honored and touched when the family of Manuel Rodriguez, Sr. flew all the way from the US and the Bahamas to join us in the tribute to their father at SM City Cebu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were also amazed at how Filipino artists created groundbreaking works from non-traditional materials. With art supplies either too costly or simply unavailable, Baguio\u2019s Jordan Mang-osan and Patric Palasi found their niche in solar and coffee art, respectively; while Palawan\u2019s Elordie Mesac crafted his pieces from rubber slippers. When his materials were washed away by super-typhoon Yolanda, Tacloban-born Dante Enage began using tuba, a local wine made from coconut juice, as his medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise of regional Fine Arts schools like the Philippine High School for the Arts in Laguna, the University of Mindanao, the University of Rizal System, La Consolacion College in Bacolod, Ateneo de Naga, and the Adventist University of the Philippines in Cavite have likewise been vital to the growth of the arts around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also saw how art thrived when artists got together in collectives like the Tam-Awan Village in Baguio, the Artist\u2019s Village in Baler, and Pinto Art Museum in Rizal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, after three years, more than 30 stops, hundreds of artworks, and a myriad of memorable experiences, we have compiled our exciting cultural journey in a book. Join us as we unravel the exquisite tapestry of Philippine art through the lives and works of some of the country\u2019s most fascinating visual artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2095\" data-attachment-id=\"27463\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/about-my-city-my-sm-my-art\/attachment\/photo-5-1-3\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,2095\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Photo-5-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;It also features modernists like the Four Pillars of Art in Bacolod: Charlie Co, Nunelucio Alvarado, Rodney Martinez, and Rafael Paderna&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-300x245.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"27463\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=27463#main\" class=\"wp-image-27463\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-5-1-300x245.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">It also features modernists like the Four Pillars of Art in Bacolod: Charlie Co, Nunelucio Alvarado, Rodney Martinez, and Rafael Paderna<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-6-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2095\" data-attachment-id=\"27464\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/lifestyle\/about-my-city-my-sm-my-art\/attachment\/photo-6-1-3\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Photo-6-1-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,2095\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Photo-6-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;
