A Decade of Renaissance Art Gallery

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The word Renaissance, which means rebirth, is rich with historical meaning and emotion and signifies the highest aspiration of humanity and its search for artistic excellence.

What better name to use for an art gallery that was christened by mutual agreement by the couples Noli and Agnes Romero.

This year, Renaissance Art Gallery celebrates a decade of existence, a feat in itself in the highly competition world of Philippine Art marketing.

Everyone needs to be involved in the issues of the country. It is our obligation to take part in nation-building. It is admirable to see the youth, and even the younger generation of girls taking an active role in expressing their needs and aspirations to our leaders to create a better society.

To culminate the nationwide campaign, “Your Voice, Your Move,” MODESS Philippines unveiled at The Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City a special edition publication called “Girl, Talk” – a compilation of messages for the country’s leaders from teen girls who were too young to vote in the recent elections. The clincher? These books will be delivered to the offices of our senators for their serious consideration.

“Sana bigyan nila ng pansin ang mga kabataang nasa kalye,” said Joyce.

“Hopefully we can have enough equipment like books, electric fans, and desks in every school,” said Yssa.

Deannie says: “Lahat ng sinasabi ng running senators ay importante sa tao. So, sana lahat din ay galing sa puso.”

If the name was not descriptive enough of what to expect at Spring Singapura, then you probably haven't heard of Singapore.

Officially called the Republic of Singapore, it is a Southeast Asian island city-state off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It is also an island country made up of 63 islands (not as many as our own Philippines). It is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south.

In Singapore, food is viewed as crucial to national identity and a unifying cultural thread. Singaporean literature declares eating as a national pastime and food, a national obsession (quite similar to the Philippines where there's a restaurant or food kiosks at every corner).
