 BAJAU, RENATO BARJA, JR., 2015 
This work is about a young gypsy girl that is
commonly seen riding a jeepney to play music
and ask for alms.
 KALSADA, THOMAS DAQUIOAG, 2015 
A Filipino showcase of ingenuity and crafstmanship at its
best as we see everyday in the streets from food vendors
and jeepneys in colorful designs and of good taste.
 SI MALAKAS AT SI MARIKIT, ARNICA ACANTILADO, 2015
The carabao is the national animal of the Philippines. It symbolizes strength, power, efficiency, perseverance,
and most of all, hardwork. Until now, many Filipinos use the carabao in the farm since the technology is
expensive. It has been one of the many things that picture the Filipino life--representing many Filipino ideas,
characteristics, culture, and tradition.
 Hope in the Ruins of
Manila, Fernando
Amorsolo 1945.
Another masterpiece from
Amorsolo is Hope in the Ruins
of Manila. He was known for
his bright colors and peaceful
paintings, but he also
represented the years of World
War II, when the Japanese were
occupying the Philippines. He’s
able to depict the war, and the
devastation it brings to people –
but in the middle of that sadness
and desperation, he gives us a
hint of hope. The way the light
shines, on the young Filipino
woman holding her child, gives
us hope for a brighter future that
will be built by these children.
Las Virgenes Cristianas
Expuestas al Populacho,
Félix Resurrección
Hidalgo 1884.
A small group of Filipino
expatriates and members of the
Philippine reform movement
held a victory
celebration. During the
party, José Rizal gave a speech
regarding the achievement of
Hidalgo and Luna as a proof that
the talents of Filipino artists
equaled those of the Spaniards.
In relation to such evidence,
Rizal questioned
the inequality in political rights
and freedom between Filipinos
and Spaniards. Graciano Lopez-
Jaena in turn orated that
Hidalgo and Luna were
propaganda painters who
exposed the “lamentable
conditions” of the Philippines
while under the tutelage of the
Spaniards.
 The Blood Compact, Juan Luna 1886
The Blood Compact is an
“historic and historical” painting
by Filipino painter Juan Luna. The
scene painted by the artist
portrays the 1565 Sandugo (blood
compact ritual) between Datu
Sikatuna of Bohol and Miguel
López de Legazpi, surrounded by
other conquistadores. Datu
Sikatuna was described to be
‘being crowded out of the picture
by Miguel López de Legazpi and
his fellow conquistadores’. This is
one of the last paintings created
by Luna.

 Liberty Shrine
He is best known as the hero of
the Battle of Mactan on April
27, 1521. The battle of Mactan
stopped the invasion of
Magellan in Cebu and delayed
the Spanish occupation of the
islands by over forty years until
the expedition of Miguel López
de Legazpi in 1564. The
monument of Lapu-Lapu is
located in Liberty Shrine
(Mactan Shrine), where the
historic battle of Mactan took
place at dawn on April 27,
1521. The area is also the place
where Magellan Shrine and the
marker of the spot the
Portuguese conquistador was
killed are located.
 Piña is a traditional 
Philippine fiber made
from the leaves of the 
pineapple plant.
Pineapples are
indigenous to South
America but have been
widely cultivated in the
Philippines since the
17th century, and used
for weaving lustrous
lace-like luxury textiles
known as nipis fabric. The
name is derived from
Spanish piña, meaning
"pineapple".
Singkil originated from the
Maranao people who
inhabit the shores of Lake
Lanao.It is a re-telling of
an episode from the
Maranao epic
legend Darangen involvin
g the rescue of Princess
Gandingan (abducted by 
diwata) by the legendary
Prince Bantugan.It is a
popular dance performed
during celebrations and
other festive
entertainment. 
 Bahay na bato (Tagalog,
literally "house of stone", also
known in Visayan as balay na
bato or balay nga bato; in 
Spanish as Casa Filipino) is a
type of building originating
during the Philippines' 
Spanish Colonial period. It is
an updated version of the
traditional bahay kubo of the
Christianized lowlanders,
known for its use of masonry
in its construction, using stone
and brick materials and later
synthetic concrete, rather than
just full organic materials of
the former style.
The pasiking (English
term:knapbasket) is
the indigenous
basket-backpack
found among the
various ethno-
linguistic groups of 
Northern Luzon in the 
Philippines. Pasiking
designs have sacred
allusions, although
most are purely
aesthetic. These
artifacts, whether
handwoven
traditionally or with
contemporary
variations, are
considered exemplars
of functional basketry
in the Philippines and
among Filipinos.
 The Manunggul Jar is a secondary burial jar excavated from a Neolithic burial site
in the Manunggul cave of the Tabon Caves at Lipuun Point in Palawan, Philippines
. It dates from 890–710 B.C. and the two prominent figures at the top handle of its
cover represent the journey of the soul to the afterlife.
