ILLUSTRATING THE STORY OF A NATION From striking depictions of personalities, to provocative illustrations of factions and even institutions, editorial or political cartoons have survived as an enduring art form that meshes representation, opinion and style of the artist. "Drawing the Lines" reads beyond the occupied space of the political cartoon in tabloids, newspapers and news weeklies that employ them. The exhibition reevaluates the role and importance of this powerful medium in light of different contexts in Philippine history. What lies outside the drawn scenes are equally powerful as the illustrations they inspire. Humor, fury, exaggeration and even the grotesque find their way into each drawing as a rtists position themselves as co-authors of history through illustrated media. "Drawing the Lines" features works of Francisco Coching, Danilo Dalena, Neil Doloricon, E.Z. Izon, Dengcoy Miel, Dante Perez, Jose Tence Ruiz, and Pinggot Zulueta. Completing th...

Bakit Kailangan Nating Alagaan ang Bayan ng Pakil Naalala noy ba ang isang pabula ni Aesop tungkol sa dagang taga siyudad at dagang taga probinsya? Minsang napunta ang dagang taga probinsya sa siyudad. Sinamahan siya ng dagang taga siyudad sa ibat ibang parte ng siyudad sa pangakong mag eenjoy siya. Subalit ang tanging naranasan ng dagang taga probinsya ay mga kalupitan at mga pagkaing tinatapon lang ng mga maybahay doon. Palaging nakikipaghabulan sila sa mga pusa at laging tinutugis ng mga tao. Dahil dito ang dagang taga probinsya ay bumalik sa kanyang probinsya at doon ulit nanirahan. Katulad ng tao, may umaalis sa bayan nilang sinilangan at may nagbabalik din. Ang mga nananatili sa kanilang bayan ay may karapatan din na maging maayos ang buhay. Pagkuha ng Konsultant Maaaring may iba't ibang kakayanang mag-isip ang mga taga-Pakil pero di ito sapat para umangat ito. Kung obserbasyon lamang ang pagbabasehan, mababa ang pag-angat nito. Ang kahalagahan ng konsultant ay di...
https://www.facebook.com/PeaceInPakil In search of better community, some concern citizens are driving information in search of truths and peace. Pakil can have a better orderliness, progress with touch of family ties and religious belief, community attachments and quiet environment. This can be dome if information are ties within the original Pakilenos speaking with credibility and intellectual process. Whom we believe in where we should listen to the old people of Pakil where we seek advice are not common now. Our historian and old wise people do not dominate over young and aggressive people, instead they are heard commonly by their own aged group. We believe that technology might help to deliver the view and words of credible or old people of Pakil. We believe that wise young folks of Pakil with prime motives to facilitate the development of the town can speak in a way they are seen centered or grouped. Centering the information through Facebook is not ...

One of this vulnerable hawk-eagle was transferred to Saray, Pakil, Laguna to secure to live and for hope, to multilply its species. PHILIPPINE HAWK-EAGLE Spizaetus philippensis Critical — Endangered — Vulnerable A1c,d; A2c,d; C1; C2a This raptor qualifies as Vulnerable because its small, severely fragmented population is undergoing a continuing rapid decline owing to lowland forest loss, exacerbated by hunting and trade. DISTRIBUTION The Philippine Hawk-eagle is endemic to the Philippines where records exist for at least 12 islands.

(1995), has now been retracted (R. J. Timmins in litt. 1...
Danilo Echavaria Dalena (4 Jan 1942) made his mark in the early 1970s with his caustic political cartoons and illustrations for the Free Press and Asia-Philippines Leader as it raised the standards of editorial art in the country. He also did a series of highly realistic toilet and graffiti drawings in 1972. He has produced series of paintings depicting folk costums and lifestyles in the city.

In 1974 shortly alter the declaration of martial law caused the closing down of the Philippine Leader, Dalena found himself without work.

One of the paintings in his series grabbed the grand prize in the Art Association of the Philippines competition the following year. An exhib...
