Title: Tanglaw ng Inang Bayan

Subject Matter:  A Nationalistic piece depicting our Motherland holding its last flame of hope

Themes: Politics, Patriotism, Freedom, Light on Dark, Chiaroscuro, Modernist

Referenced National Artist: Carlos “Botong” Francisco (November 4, 1912 – March 31, 1969)

Ang larawang guhit ay nagtatampok ng isang modernong piyesa na ipinapakita ang mga Pilipino na pinanghahawakan at pinaniniwalaan ang pag-asa ng sangkatauhan. Sa madilim na kapaligiran, makikita ang isang misteryosong tauhan na hawak ang isang matingkad na kandila, na ipinahihiwatig ang pagkakaroon ng liwanag sa gitna ng karimlan at karangyaan ng buhay. Sa ibang pananaw, ang liwanag ay sinisimbolo din ang pag-asang inaasam ng mga mamamayan sa mapait at magulong sistema ng politika ng bansa. Kung kaya’t pinaniniwalaan ng mga mangguguhit, na sa kabila ng pagkukunwari at pagmamalabis ng mga politiko sa mga Pilipino, mayroon pa ring tumatayong “Pag-asa sa ‘dilim”, na magbubukas sa makulay at magandang pamumuno sa ating Inang Bayan.

Tulad ng isang rumaragasang tubig, ang musika ay patuloy na dumadaloy sa bawat henerasyon. Ryan Cayabyab is one of the most famous composer, conductor, and musician in the Filipino music industry. Some of his most prominent and well-known pieces includes "Da Coconut Nut", "Paraiso", and "Paraisong Parisukat". His musical pieces became the inspiration for this artwork. His musical works were used as an inspiration for creating an album cover that depicts the interaction of humans and the environment. With this artwork, we aim to raise awareness of the hidden beauty of our surroundings and how we humans should preserve it. The following song covers are found in this album:

Inspired by Ryan's musical piece "Paraiso", this song cover is pertaining about the different variation of the Earth's beauty. Somewhere in this disfigured pretentious world, lies a sanctuary that would give you the pursuit of happiness.

"Dalangin ko'y iwan mo na
Ang iyong paraisong parisukat
'Sanglibo't isang paraiso
Inaalay ko sa iyo
Habang nabubuhay ako
Paraisong ito'y handog ko sa iyo lamang, giliw"

"Paraisong Parisukat" (1977) is a song written by Ryan Cayabyab and recorded by Basil Valdez. According to Valdez, the song's theme is based on a movie of the same title that was also released in 1977; directed by the great, but now inactive, Elwood Perez.

"Tayo na giliw sa malawak na kalikasan
At salubungin ang bukang-liwayway
Madarama mo ang pagsabog ng liwanag
Mahahawakan mong bahaghari at ang sinag
Sa tuwina'y mamahalin ka"

The song describes how a man expresses his love for his lover by promising to provide a more beautiful paradise than the "paraisong parisukat" his lover has. She will feel more comfort and happiness from her lover's love as they travel to this paradise together.

Time has passed.

Days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries –

We cannot deny the passage of time.

Time heals all wounds – but it undeniably causes them, too.

As I roam this space, in search of my meaning; I can see.

I can see the way you have taken care of me.

You are our home.

Provided, but we were not grateful

Sheltered, yet we remain ingrates.

We abandoned you, but you remained.

Still providing, still sheltering, still nurturing,

Even if there’s no return.

The blue sky;

The chirping of the birds,

The sound of flowing water,

The air that filled us with hope.

Where have they gone?

These eyes are blind,

It failed to see

The catastrophe.

This disaster, this calamity.

Who brought it upon this world

Other than me?

Days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries –

We cannot deny the passage of time.

Time heals all wounds – but it undeniably causes them, too.

Time has passed and I can see,

The product of my carelessness.

The product of my ignorance,

The product of my foolishness.

The sky, once blue;

Is now showering us with gloom.

The chirping can no longer be heard,

I hear nothing but a deafening silence.

The air that once gave me hope,

Now suffocates my being.

This poem is about human negligence. We take our home planet for granted, as if it would just ignore all the damage we have caused to it. At times, humans fail to realize our effect on nature; this effect is mostly, if not entirely negative. We do not realize it, but slowly, our negligence is coming into fruition. When the time comes where we realize what we have done, it would be too late.

This is a Rap video that is centered on the experience of a Filipino and the events that took place on May during the national election year 2022. This newly appointed leadership has many fearing for their futures due to the uncertainty with how the new administration will handle things moving forward. The rapper openly shows his frustration on why the masses chose the person who won even if there is irrefutable evidence that he has committed wrongdoings against the country.

This song takes inspiration from Ryan Cayabyab's "Paraiso" while encompassing the modern era of music.

This crayon drawing echoes Ryan Cayabyab's vision of nature and how it, in my eyes, can exist harmoniously with humanity and its progress. Humanity's structures tower over much of nature, yet it is important to remember that no matter how high or how grand we build, we can never exceed nature's beauty.

Our group chose Carlos Francisco as the national artist, where most of his artworks feature historical events. Therefore, our group agreed to make artworks featuring historical events involving Philippine presidents. In my artwork, I chose Ramon Magsaysay, and the significant events during his time are in a collage.
