Today we celebrate the 96th birth anniversary of National Artist ! 🇵🇭

Born on January 26, 1930 in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Napoleon Veloso Abueva was a sculptor known for his works that explore the use of a variety of materials, such as molave, langka, kamagong, palm, adobe, coral, and cement.

Abueva pursued Sculpture at the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Fine Arts in 1950 as a Pura Villanueva-Kalaw scholar, where he met and was mentored by National Artist and sculptor Guillermo Tolentino — known for creating the famous oblation found at the entrance of the UP Diliman campus. Abueva would later be commissioned by UP to recreate the iconic monument for the Los Baños, Davao, Tacloban, and Miag-ao campuses.

While still a student at UP, Abueva had already been receiving awards from various Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) competitions, among them the First Prize at the 1951 AAP Semi-Annual Competition and the 1952 AAP Annual Art Competition. After graduating, he pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree at the Cranbrook Academy of Art as a Fulbright scholar, as well as courses from the University of Kansas and Harvard University.

Skilled in both the academic representational style and modern abstract, Abueva’s works range in form and type, from large-scale monuments and busts, to furniture and even playgrounds. Among his innovations was the “buoyant sculpture,” introduced in 1951 to refer to sculptures best appreciated from the surface of a placid pool.

Abueva was recorded to be the youngest artist to receive the National Artist for Sculpture award in 1976, at 46 years old. He passed away on February 16, 2018 at the age of 88.

Featured Work: “Judas Kiss,” 1955, Adobe, Gift of Teodoro Katigbak, Collection of , Ateneo de Manila University. CURRENTLY ON VIEW at “A Synergy of Ventures: The Postwar Art Scene” until 28 February 2026.

11.5 Milyong Filipino ay may dugong Chinese

Bago pa man dumating ang mga Espanyol sa bansa, malayang nakakapunta ang mga Tsino sa Pilipinas, ilan sa kanila ay nanirahan pa sa Maynila kahit pa noong sakop tayo ng mga Kastila.

Ilan sa mga dahilan kung bakit tinayo ang Intramuros (walled city) ay upang maihiwalay ang kanilang lahi sa malaking bilang ng mga Sangle (Chinese) at mga Filipino (Indio), dito nakilala ang Binondo Community na balwarte ng mga Indio't Sangle, habang ang Intramuros ay tirahan ng mga Peninsulares at Insulares.
