Paanyaya: Pagdiriwang ng Ika‑140 Kaarawan ni Antonio Kabigting Abad

PAANYAYA! Pagdiriwang ng ika-140 kaarawan ni G. Antonio Kabigting Abad at pagbubukas ng eksibisyong inihanda ng manunulat at mananaliksik na si Ricky Celeste Ornopia.

Sa loob ng delubyo ng kasakimang likha ng mga kawatan, sa harap ng magkabilang dagok ng krisis sa klima, at sa gitna ng dagat ng kamangmangan at pagkalimot, napapanahon ang pagdalisay sa mga pamana ni Abad sa bayan.
Pinagmamalaki ng Constantino Foundation na maging bahagi ng inisyatibo ng Mind The Gap, partikular ang paalala ni Ornopia na “tingnan ang puwang” dahil doon masisilayan ang maraming elemento ng kontra-kamalayan na lubhang kailangan ng ating lipunan sa kasalukuyan.
Inaasahan naming na umpisa lamang ito sa mahabang serye ng pagbubungkal sa natabunang nakaraan – hindi lamang pagbabalik-tanaw – at sa okasyon ng ika-13 ng Agosto, inaanyayahan naming ang lahat [READ]

KALOKA-LIKES AND THE IMPORTANCE of CURIOSITY

Two different Filipinos are in the first photo (collage). Can you spot the difference? Is it the curve of the nose? The hairline? The tight curls that grow from it? The pursed lips that break out into a wide smile? While they bear an uncanny resemblance, these two men—prominent figures in Philippine history—had divergent views. Their names: Claro M. Recto and Carlos P. Romulo.
When the scholar Bryan Balco visited the #PastsRevisited exhibit, his sense of curiosity made him pause and wonder who the person was between Letizia and Renato, and he [READ]

In her diary entry on 6 February 1978, Letizia shares the way she and Renato worked together, as observed by Onie, her astute secretary, who recounted to her how she described to their printer the intellectual collaboration of husband and wife,: “Sir is the architect, and Ma’am is the carpenter.”
One photo shows Renato seated calmly by Letizia’s side during an events that launched a volume of Issues Without Tears. Did you notice the composition of the other image? A playful Renato takes the photo of a smiling Letizia using her reflection in a large mirror, something young Filipinos still do [READ]
