Philippines is my home country; this is where I was born and grew up. Growing here is very poor but the love that my family gives me are rich. People here are kind and caring too, they won't leave you behind.

This country was the one who taught me how to love art. Philippines has a lot of various kinds of art like architecture, sculpting, painting, weaving, carving, folk perfoming arts, folk literature, folk graphic and plastic arts, ornament, pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture. I saw some of this art forms from my old school and its very calming to look at it everyday. I still see some of this flatforms in my new school and its very pretty because students were the one who made them.

Philippines is like my art museum, when I look to its nature I can see art. Philippines is my comfort place but the government itself is trash, so many corruptions but i hope that one day it will disappear. I hope the new genertion will choose the right leader for them.

Before and during the pandemic, I don't know a lot of people at our barangay but now that pandemic has past and we can interact with each other again, I met a lot of my neighbors.
They are really nice and they do have a lot of good chika. They are not just kind, they're helpful too and approachable. So I'll say I have a very good relationship to my community.

As an artist, I can contribute so much art in our country because I think people these days are not into arts. So, I wish I can paint my community with spray paint or painting to show them how happy life is with so much color. I want to show them the beauty of art when they're about to go to their work, I want to make them smile using art because I think it is the only thing I'm good at. and of course I want to make the kids love the arts too because I think they are just some spoiled brats who loves using their phone to play games or to waste their time there. I'll make sure to make that dream happen when I'm ready.
