to rise up and be better. The roof was burned then rebuilt it with the thirteen arches by Architect

Paintings
Ang Kiukok
Ang Kiukok, an ethnic Chinese painter who studied under Vincente Manansala. He was
named by his father, Kiukok, which means “save the country”. All his paintings symbolizes disturbing
subjects, as he once said, "Why not? Open your eyes. Look around you. So much anger, sorrow,
ugliness. And also madness.” He uses abstract geometric style, while his meanings are as if the
reality, full of sorrows, angser, ugliness and madness.
Banta Artist Initiative
It symbolizes the way how Filipino lives and how farming become part of the culture. This
painting show how hardworking Filipinos are and how they help economy and culture to emprove. By
looking at the painthing it tells me that we don’t need rice from other country to import inside the
Philippines because once imported rice sell in the market, Philippine rice will need to compate to
inported rice.
