"I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of man."
Walt Whitman
"Song of Myself"
March is the month when we celebrate the beauty and empowerment of women and there is no better way to celebrate it but by presenting women as they embrace multiple roles in society. As such, it is with great pride that the Rizal Park Visitor's Center features the art of eleven Filipino artists to salute women in an art exhibit entitled, "The Essence of Eve through the Eyes of an Artist." The participating artists are Miguel Wong, Arlene de Castro-Anonuevo, Ding Royales, Elmer Ponce Pacio, Edgar Jose, Manny Palo, Francis Landicho, Iel Castillo, Vicente Reyes Santos, Jose Erwin Mallare, and Rene Canlas. The exhibit was organized and ably curated by Miss May Ann Peacita of the Rizal Park Visitor's Center.
The Rizal Park Visitor's Center serves as an information hub to international and local visitors. It has a lounge area, audio-visual facilities, a souvenir shop, and regularly holds art exhibits that showcase the rich culture and heritage of the Philippines. Please visit the center for the art presently on display.
