I remember these guys when we were elementary in Marist School

All of us went to Marist School, Batch 1983.  Ray, Jeff & Anton attended Marist from Prep through high school.  Of course, I left after Grade 3 when I migrated to the USA with my family.

Why Vicente Manansala’s Madonna of the Slums Captivates Us All

-

“Art should not be purely decorative. It should be meaningful.” — Vicente Manansala On Pinoybuilt.com, no artwork has captured more attention, curiosity, and admiration than Vicente Manansala’s iconic painting Madonna of the Slums . It stands as our all-time most viewed post — and for good reason. The Significance of the Artwork Painted in 1950, Madonna of the Slums is one of the most powerful social commentaries in Philippine modern art. It portrays a mother and child amidst the squalor of Manila’s urban slums, echoing the religious imagery of the Madonna and Child but set starkly against poverty and urban migration. Through his signature transparent cubism , Manansala overlays geometric shapes and muted hues to express both the harshness of the slums and the enduring dignity of the human spirit. The painting is a poignant reminder that beneath economic hardship, there remains profound love, resilience, and hope. The Genius of Vicente Manansala Vicente Manansala (1910–19...

Bathala : The Creator God | Philippine Mythology

-
Image
Asian Mythology | Mythlok In ancient #Tagalog, the Supreme Being known as Bathala Maykapal, commonly known as Bathala, is regarded as the creator and ruler of the universe. This term was also used for lesser beings such as personal spirits, omen birds, comets, and other heavenly bodies. It was after the Spanish missionaries came to the #Philippines that Bathala Maykapal became known as a Christian God. Before the 19th century, the term was never used since it was replaced by the words Panginoon and Diyos. Bathala is the #creator of everything in the universe. He is said to have appeared during various natural phenomenon such as a flood, a fire, and an earthquake, and he declared his authority over the world. The origin or where Bathala came from is not known or documented. The worship of Bathala, although common across the various islands and tribes of the #Philippines, is most prominent in the Luzon area and its indigenous tribes. Bathala is considered to be very humanlike...

🛡️ RESIST: Lapu-Lapu, Magellan, and the Birth of Filipino Identity in 1521

-
Image
🛡️ Before the Philippines had a name, we had resistance. In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan landed under the Spanish flag and claimed the islands for Spain. But what he found was a proud people — especially a warrior named Lapu-Lapu — who refused to bow. On April 27, 1521 , at the Battle of Mactan, Lapu-Lapu and his warriors stood their ground. Armed with kampilan swords and native courage, they resisted Spanish forces and killed Magellan on Filipino soil. This was more than a victory — it was the birth of Filipino identity . “To resist is to exist. We were not discovered — we were awakened.” Lapu-Lapu didn’t just win a battle — he became the first Filipino to fight for sovereignty. That resistance lives on through the Katipunan, World War II freedom fighters, EDSA revolutionaries, and everyday Filipinos who rise for justice. 1521 wasn’t about discovery. It was about defiance . That moment gave us our spirit — one of unity, identity, an...
