Jess: Thank you for joining us! Jess Ignacio is a friend of my late wife Tess Garcia Perseveranda (and my friend on Facebook of course). She has joined Pinoybuilt as a blogger. Jess, I'm looking forward to your posts. We had a lengthy discussion on Messenger. To recap: The main site is www.pinobuilt.com . That site is Northern California-based since that's where I live. Feel free to recruit bloggers to this site PH.pinoybuilt.com . They should be based in the Philippines of course. Pinoybuilt.com and sub-sites are all limited to 100 authors/bloggers. The sites make money through Google Ad views so please do invite family and friends to visit here. Have them make this their home website. ;) Since the number one concentration of Filipino Americans is Los Angeles, CA, I have a site that caters to that, LA.pinoybuilt.com . I'll keep this short for now. As you and I discussed, we'll post daily and communicate via the COMMENTS box (unless it's a private matter). Maraming ...

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...
