November 30-Pradyek Tiniil + Thumbs Up CDO! TV Launching

December 30 was a day of two successful milestones, one for Pilipinas Natin & the other for Thumbs Up CDO! TV.

Pradyek Tiniil: "Putting our feet on their ground" is a project that aims at raising 100,000 pairs of slippers for pupils of different public schools in Cagayan de Oro. However, its primary goal is to really maintain the spirit of bayanihan that is already in the hearts of every Kagay-anon. Pradyek Tiniil is our way of telling others that we are in bayanihan even if there is no tragedy.

You can know more about Pradyek Tiniil by visiting their website here: http://pradyektiniil.blogspot.com/

While Thumbs Up CDO! TV is a hip, interactive and wide-ranging broadcast quality online TV show, the first in the City of Golden Friendship!

If somebody told me at least 7 months ago that Rap Batikos' tryout venue, which also used to be a skate park for local skateboard enthusiasts, and a venue for practices of various dance groups, nothing short of the amphitheater in DV Soria of course- would turn into an exclusive 3d visual art park come December 2012, I would find it very hard to believe that person. But that's exactly what's happening now.

That being pointed out, I would like to take this opportunity to share my stand on the temporary state of art as a form of self-expression for artists, & as a form of product of paid-for commissions.

This is from a perspective of a hobbyist that has been blogging about the local art movement for almost a year now, also from the perspective of someone who sought to make business in the form of a commission-based art production team & who now makes a living as a freelance graphic artist.

NOVEMBER 28-DECEMBER 1: XU Festival Days 2012
