While contemporary Filipino art seems to be all the rage these days—local galleries and auction houses all seem to have them on display—one particular auction house had just proven that fine European art still maintains its prized status among the country’s most discerning collectors.

Discovery Consumer Products, the licensing arm of Discovery Communications (DCI), and Uniqlo, a brand of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., collaborated on a brand new collection of unisex youth T-shirts embodying Discovery Channel’s spirit of curiosity. 

This marks the first global partnership between Uniqlo and Discovery Consumer Products and is supported with a comprehensive, worldwide digital marketing campaign, in-store promotion, and cross promotion between the two brands. 

Bearded or shaven, a shirt in black or white, rubber shoes or leather shoes—looking good doesn't have to be complicated. And it’s these simple choices that make your life easier, because the day can get busy real fast. The less effort you need, the sooner you can get things done.  

With the emerging popularity of tattoos as a form of self-expression, the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) delves into the history and tradition of this indigenous practice in Naichayu: An Architectural Exploration of the Kalinga Tattoo, on display until April 29 on the 12th floor of the School of Design and Arts.

Naichayu is the Kalinga word for skin-deep, in reference to this particular art.

Many cherished Easter traditions highlight the Christian celebration of Christ’s resurrection, as well as the coming of spring. 

Easter eggs and chicks symbolize new life.  Eggs have been a symbol of spring since ancient times, and are also symbols of the rock tomb out of which Christ emerged when he rose again. The chick hatching out of the egg symbolizes new life or rebirth.

Want to add a touch of Old World elegance to your home, especially if it’s new or newly renovated? Then imagine a classic grandfather clock looking magnificent, standing tall and towering over other objets d’art in your living room. And if owning one is already an achievement, how much more if that very piece you have is the product of Filipino craftsmanship, in other words, truly Pinoy made.
