* Art
The Fruit Gatherer’, 1950 | © Fernando Amorsolo
Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972)
Labelled the country’s first National Artist in 1972 by then President Marcos, Fernando
Amorsolo is often known as the ‘Grand Old Man of Philippine Art’. The Spanish-trained realist
developed a backlighting technique, where his colorful depictions of local people reflect the
radiance of the Philippine sun. The figures and illuminated landscapes magically glow on the
canvas. Despite his deteriorating health and failing eyesight, he remained prolific until the end,
producing up to 10 paintings a month until his death at the age of 80. Amorsolo’s creativity
defines the nation’s culture and heritage to this day.
The Vargas Musuem – found inside the campus of his alma mater, the University of the
Philippines, displays a notable selection of his work.
*Beliefs and Values
The family
The family is at the center of the Filipino community. Children are not expected to leave their
parents’ house until they get married; and even after then, many couples opt to stay with or
close to their or their spouse’s parents.
Also, they’re expected to care for their aging parents instead of sending them to a retirement
home. This is why it’s common to see different generations or multiple families living in a single
residence.
The value that Filipinos put into caring for one’s family can also be seen as one of the reasons
why nurses and caregivers from the country provide their patients and clients with a high level of
care.
