What Is It
Trends in photography, film, print media, digital media and product designs are being
explored by our Filipino artists and designers. The talent creativity in all these fields are
recognized and celebrated.
Photography as Communication
Photography is now viewed as more than just about the
beautiful. Aside from the printed word, photographic image is
today‟s most important means of expression. The lens
captures the image objectively, and the resulting photograph is
regarded as true to life and „of the moment.‟ It is considered
one of the most powerful means of communication, avenue for
information and ideas, as it expresses emotions, exposes
social and political issues and even champions causes. This
power comes from two distinctive characteristics of
photography: immediacy and detail.
George Tapan
Tapan is an award-winning travel photographer who has won two Pacific Asia
Tourism Association (PATA) Gold awards, an ASEAN Tourism Association award,
and first place honors in the 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest. His highly
acclaimed work has been published in five travel photography books.
John K. Chua
Chua is best known as an advertising and commercial photographer, with
over 40 years of experience in the field and numerous local and international awards
for his work. At the same time, he has applied his photo artistry to showcasing the
beauty of the Philippines.
Film
Film, a transition from still photography, came in the late
1800s with “series photography” and the invention of celluloid strip
film. As its early name “motion pictures” declares, film brought yet
another dimension into play—that of moving images. This medium
created a new art form that was to become a powerful social and
economic force, leaving a legacy of the 20th century to the world.

Philippine Filmmakers
In the Philippine film scene, American influence was evident in the pre-World War II
and Liberation years with song-and-dance musicals, romantic dramas, and comedy films.
Beginning with the turbulent 1970s, however progressive Filipino directors emerged to make
movies dealing with current social issues and examining the Filipino character.
Laurice Guillen
Guillen‟s film Salome (1981) earned international acclaim at the Toronto
International Film Festival. Her more recent films, such as Tanging Yaman (2001),
which won Best Picture in the Metro Manila Film Festival, American Adobo (2002),
Santa Santita (2004) which represented the Philippines at the Bangkok International
Film Festival, and Sa’Yo Lamang (2010), all gained her recognition among the
current generation of Filipino moviegoers.
Marilou Diaz-Abaya
Diaz-Abaya captured the attention and respect of the viewing public with
powerful films such as Jose Rizal (1998), perfectly timed for the centennial
celebration of Philippine independence; Muro-ami (1999), which bravely exposed the
deadly practice of using child-divers to pound for fish in the Philippines‟ coral reefs;
and Bagong Buwan (2001), which dealt with the human cost of the Muslim-Christian
conflict in Mindanao.
Brillante Mendoza
Mendoza is a film director who has brought the country to cinema world
distinction. He was originally a production designer for films, commercials, and music
videos, and started directing films in 2005. In just four years, his film Kinatay (The
Execution of P) won him the Best Director at the highly prestigious Cannes Film
Festival in 2009.
Animation
In recent decades, a whole new career opportunity has emerged for creative Filipinos
via the field of animation. In fact, Filipino animators have been involved in the creation of
some of the best-loved and technically challenging animated feature films produced in the
last few years. Among these are Toy Story, Up, The Incredibles, Monsters University, Cars,
Finding Nemo, Planes, Brave, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and more. Such recognition of
Philippine talent abroad has spurred the development of the local animation industry as well.
5
participating colleges and universities, the Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) and other government agencies, and local
government units to develop animation as a promising career option for Filipinos.
Print Media
Print Media is known as the digital media forms discussed above and in the more
conventional form. Included here are large-scale publications such as newspapers,
magazines, journals, books of all kinds, as well as smaller-scale posters, brochures, flyers,
menus and the like.
Advertising
Advertising field relies heavily on print media. Philippine artists are still called
upon to create advertisements that will be physically printed. These appear in
newspapers, magazines, posters, brochures, and flyers. The advertising copywriters
provide the text for titles, taglines, and body copy, while an entire team of modern-
day art professionals creates the look of each ad. These range from art directors to
photographers to graphic designers to illustrators.
Comic Books
Another field of print that highlights the artistic gifts of Filipinos are the comic
books, or komiks as they are referred to locally. Filipino comic artists also became
recognized for their talents, both locally and overseas. Thus, from the 1960s to the
1980s, Filipino artists were recruited to work for foreign comic publishers. The
popularity of Philippine comics began in the 1920s when Liwayway magazine started
featuring comic strips, such as Mga Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy (The Misadventures of
Kenkoy) created by Tony Velasquez. Velasquez went on to be recognized as the
“Father of Filipino Comics.”
6
Book Design and Illustration
Another extremely rich and promising area for young Filipino artists is the field
of book publishing where companies such as Bookmark., Anvil Publishing, Adarna
Books, and Tahanan Books for Young Readers (now Ilaw ng Tahanan Publishing),
give local book designers and illustrators the professional stature they deserve and
the creative freedom they need to truly showcase their talents.
Digital Media
Digital Media refers to books that were originally available only in print which are
being gradually converted to digital format, while new books are now conceptualized, written,
designed, and illustrated precisely for these online media. This also means that the manner
by which today‟s readers can find, access, and enjoy these electronic books (or “e-books”) is
via digital media tablets, e-book readers, and other handheld reading devices. One such
device that is available locally is the e-book reader called Kobo, which features international
as well as Philippine titles.
Likewise gaining in popularity are social media-based publishing sites, like Wattpad,
that serve as communities for millions of budding writers to share their original stories online.
This phenomenon, along with the rise of electronic distribution platforms, such as Flipreads,
which provide access to the works of Filipino authors and publishers, opens exciting new
opportunities for young artists to do the digital design and illustrations for all these upcoming
titles.
Josie Natori
Natori is a Filipino-American fashion designer, and she began her career as
an investment banker before she made the dramatic shift to creating her own lines of
lingerie, resort and lounge wear, as well as semiformal and casual attire.
7
Rajo Laurel
Laurel is best known to the general public as a judge on the television series
Project Runway Philippines. He is a much-admired Filipino fashion designer with
several national and international awards to his name. He was trained at New York‟s
Fashion Institute of Technology and at Central Saint Martin‟s in London. He is also a
savvy entrepreneur, establishing House of Laurel and Rajo Laurel Enterprise. His
creations maintain a Filipino sensibility, incorporating embroidery, beadwork, and
hand-painted prints, while also offering the prestige of limited edition pieces. Thus, he
has gained a loyal local following and the attention of the international market. He
also co-pioneered the social enterprise known as Rags2Riches. This organization
enables women from poor communities across the country to earn through creating
fashion and home accessories out of up-cycled scrap cloth, organic materials, and
indigenous fabrics. Today, Rags2Riches has evolved into an eco-ethical lifestyle
brand.
Lulu Tan-Gan
Tan-Gan is known for her fashionable knitwear lines since 1985, as she had
been dubbed “The Queen of Knitwear” of the country. That specialty has since
evolved into a new hand-woven line, called Indigenous Couture that blends
Philippine artisan crafts, fabrics, fibers, and other local materials with Tan-Gan‟s
signature contemporary lifestyle dressing. The designer‟s vision is to encourage the
use of stylized indigenous and traditional wear, as she draws inspiration from the rich
textile and embroidery traditions of the Philippines and interprets these in modern
styles and silhouettes. Further, each Tan-Gan creation is 95% hand-made and hand-
loomed (knitted and woven) by Philippine artisans.
Dita Sandico-Ong
Sandico-Ong is a Philippine designer who has been advocating the use of
local weaving techniques and natural fibers. Known as the “Wrap Artiste” of the
Philippines for her famous bold-colored wraps, her first experimented with the local
weave of Ilocos Sur, known as inabel, as well as pineapple fibers blended with Irish
linen dubbed as piñalino. From there, she tried other local fibers, particularly abaca
which she was introduced to by weaver and entrepreneur Virgilio Apanti. Sandico-
Ong has since been working with a multipurpose cooperative in Catanduanes,
training them in natural dye extraction and advanced weaving techniques for abaca.
Today, her collection includes wraps or panuelos, as well as boleros, jackets, and
long tunics of banana fiber and abaca. Her designs are presented in fashion shows
around the world and are sold in high-end shops in major international cities.
