GSM, AYALA, AMORSOLO, MARCA DEMONIO.
I took a photo of a GSM label [Left] in the grocery lately and wondered if the present label does justice to the original "Marca Demonio" drawn by Fernando Amorsolo.
An old label [Middle] from the Edward de los Santos Collection is clearer with more defined detail. A photo of an even earlier label [Right] links Ginebra San Miguel with Ayala Inc. just like the one in the middle.
Before they went into glitzy malls, condos and subdivisions Ayala...

Another item off my Bucket List in Iloilo.
Until last Thursday I have only seen the OTON GOLD FACE MASK in photos. Not on display in the National Museum Manila, this National Cultural Treasure was returned”home” and is now in the National Museum Iloilo. I was thrilled to see it.

Another item off the Bucket List.
I have long wanted to study Guillermo Tolentino’s Bonifacio Monument up close. Opportunity came with ongoing conservation by NHCP. Thanks to Rommel Aquino and Chad Baula for helping the overweight Senior up the scaffolding. I was too scared to climb up to the Winged Victory or even go face to face with Bonifacio. This is as good as it gets.
