A Filipino woman artist whose traveling exhibition (San Francisco, New York and Toronto) is making waves in the international art scene, two decades after her death.

A Fil-Am Catholic priest who is also a fulltime filmmaker, with his own IMDb page.

A young Filipina Canadian children's book illustrator who won the 2024 Ezra Jack Keats Illustrator Award, among the most coveted in the children's book industry. (And there's a bonus in the story: a recipe for pandesal.)

A Filipino-owned art gallery that participated in Frieze New York, one of the leading art shows in the world, with an exhibition of the works of a FilAm artist who was a significant influence in American modernism.

We shine our spotlight this week on these Filipino creatives who have made/are making their imprints on their respective art niches.

We also look back to an important period in Philippine history that should never be forgotten. Our Video of the Week is a documentary on martial law in our homeland (declared on September 21,1972 by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, the first).
