MURALS
"With 'Ang Hinirang ni Magwayen', the artist hopes to promote appreciation for local culture, encourage familiarization in Philippine mythology, and most importantly, raise awareness on marine conservation especially with growing concerns on the environmental implications of the West Philippine Sea dispute. The destruction of the marine ecosystem with large-scale illegal capture of endangered sea life using cyanide and dynamite fishing is an underrated yet monumental challenge confronting our region.
Although we, as Filipinos, seem helpless under these troubled circumstances, the artist intends for the mural to serve as a reminder that as the sea goddess Magwayen’s children, we carry a task of being stewards to our waters and to all life in it."
