social substrates in it’s design.
CONTEMPORARY ART

present day. Usually the artists are alive and still
making work. It is also often about ideas and
concerns, rather than solely the aesthetic(the
look of the work). Artists try different ways of
experimenting with ideas and materials.

Philippine was born and how it continues to shape

 Roman Catholicism comprises the beliefs and
practices of the Roman Catholic Church. The world
has more than one billion Catholics and with ever
growing population. Having God’s divine grace

Exhibit’ (Victory in Mactan)in Cebu International Airport.
We can’t deny richness of local color and the immense
talent behind each work.
 The bloody Battle of Mactan took place in April 27,1521
when the iron-clad soldiers of Ferdinand Magellan reach
the shores of the island but was fiercly confronted by
chief Lapu- Lapu and his fighters.
 I found interesting in this annual event is not just the re-
enactment of the historical facts and figures as recorded
but also the relevance and what it means today about the
event to the present predicament of the people
especially among the locals and Filipinos in general.
