    Bonifacio Arévalo

    Born on May 14, 1850 to Esperanza Flores and Justo Arévalo, Bonifacio Arévalo was a
    sculptor, an ardent patron of music and theater, and a propagandist. At the age seven, he lost
    his father, who was also a sculptor, and he was consequently placed under the care of his uncle
    Don José Arévalo (Capitán municipal of Biñan in 1833 and was popularly known as "Capitan
    Cheng-Cheng") whom himself was a sculptor and a dentist (The Philippine Dental Association
    considers him as the first Filipino dentist). His aunt, Eulalia Asunción, taught him the art of
    woodcarving.
    He acquired an education through his uncle’s beneficence and, upon finishing, worked as an
    aide at the San Juan de Dios Hospital. While undergoing apprentices at the hospital, he learned
    the basics of dentistry under his uncle’s tutelage. In 1876, he obtained the title of cirujano
    ministrante, and soon after put up a clinic along Elizondo Street in Quiapo. In 1888, he took -
    and passed – an examination given to dentists in the country.
    A profitable practice allowed Arévalo to pursue his other interests: sculptor and music. His
    sculptures may be classified according to three categories: religious pieces, exemplified by “La
    Purísima Concepción,” “Calvario,” and “San Rafael,” sculptured vignettes that portray native
    practices and events, such as his “Zapatero,” “Magmamais,” and “Bayad”; and sculptured busts
    of famous personages. Wood particularly lanite and santol, was his favorite material for
    sculpture.

    Masterpiece:

    “Magmamais”
    A model of a farming scene which shows two women and a man peeling rice in a
    mortar and cleaning it with a bilao (tray). The figures are carved out of wood and covered with
    painted plaster. It gives a clear indication of how the Philippino peasants of the nineteenth
    century dressed. The collection of the National Museum of Anthropology includes six other
    models of this kind with different agricultural scenes which were donated to the 1887 Exhibit by
    the Central Committee of Manila to be displayed in the sixth section on agriculture, horticulture
    and livestock. Part of these models have been published in the book entitled Discovering
    Philippine Art in Spain, which attributes them to the sculptor Bonifcio Arévalo y Flores, although
    their author is not mentioned in the Exhibition catalogue.

    Calvario ( Calvary )
    The Calvary group statues represent the Crucifix, St. Mary, St. John the Apostle and St. Mary
    Magdalena. Calvary or ‘Golgotha’ was the site at which the crucifixion of Jesus occurred.
    Anastacio Caedo

    (14 August 1907 – 12 May 1990) was a Filipino sculptor. His style of sculpture was classical
    realist in the tradition of his mentor, Guillermo Tolentino.
    His best known works include the MacArthur Landing site in Palo Red Beach, Leyte; the
    Benigno Aquino Monument which was originally at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Paseo de
    Roxas in Makati; the Bonifacio Monument in Pugad Lawin, Balintawak; and numerous statues of
    Jose Rizal, most notably the ones displayed in Philippine embassies throughout the world. He
    produced numerous commissioned representational sculptures mainly monuments of national
    heroes and successful Filipino politicians, businessmen, and educators.
    Caedo is also notable for having refused the honor of being awarded a National Artist of the
    Philippines - in 1983, 1984, and 1986.

    Masterpiece:

    Bonifacio Statue in marble dust and resin with a bronze finish is an 18-inch replica of the
    Bonifacio Monument at Pugad Lawin by Sculptor Anastacio Caedo.
    Anastacio Caedo is a one of the Philippines greatest sculptors. He produced commissioned
    sculptors mainly of National Heroes.
    MacArthur Landing site
    The statues mark the spot where MacArthur fulfilled his promise of "I shall return" at Red Beach,
    so-called for the blood spilled on it during the war. In front of the statues, two historical markers
    in English and Filipino can be found explaining the significance of the scene being depicted. A
    museum stands adjacent to the site which contains historic photographs and other memorabilia
    of General MacArthur including a copy of his speech upon landing and a bronze cast of his
    footprints
