In the late 1990s, this Ninoy Aquino sculpture on Ayala Avenue by Peter de Guzman replaced the other Aquino sculpture by Anastacio Caedo because of its depressing image. Former President Corazon Aquino, widow of Ninoy, dedicated the new sculpture to the generation of Filipinos born after 1986, the year of the People Power Revolution. The statue stands in the fountainhead of the People Power revolt in EDSA. Makati City, especially the stretch of the business district’s Ayala Avenue, was the site of the most dramatic rallies against the misrule of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. The "Yellow Friday" protest marches and anti-dictatorship demonstrations, with their rain of yellow confetti, took place following his assassination on August 21, 1983. The bronze statue, which stands 10 feet tall on a 12-foot marble base, was commissioned by industrialist Jaime Zobel de Ayala.

We thank all the facilitators, mentors, and supporters who made this year's 8 art workshops possible and meaningful.

The July 18 Art in the City session with Master Romulo Galicano, Decoding Mastery through the Basics, was a golden learning moment for the participants.

Galicano imparted wisdom from mentors and great artists, along with theories, techniques, and stories of travels, and anecdotes, that propelled him to the height of his visual art career.

This Masterclass was one for the books, a rare moment for year 2 of Art in the City.
