Seeing the Pahiyas festival for the first time instantly filled me with pride, as I recognized it not just as any celebration but as a true reflection of our Filipino love for vibrant colors, much like in our jeepney art. Celebrated every May 15 in Lucban, Quezon, in honor of San Isidro Labrador, the festival transforms homes into dazzling displays of creativity and gratitude. Growing up in Quezon and living near Lucban makes this festival feel even more personal to me, as it reflects the culture and traditions I was surrounded with. The joy, vibrancy, and sense of community it brings are truly unforgettable.

It’s in FEU because the school values art as part of student life. The founder wanted the campus to be more than just classrooms—he wanted it filled with culture and inspiration. That’s why paintings like this are displayed, to remind students of unity, heritage, and pride in being Filipino while they go about their everyday life in the university.and the painting shows people working together to carry a tapestry of landscapes and buildings, symbolizing unity, bayanihan, and the preservation of culture and heritage.

Graciano T. Nepomuceno’s bust of Dr. Nicanor Reyes (1948) is one of the earliest memorials dedicated to the FEU founder after his tragic death in the Battle of Manila (1945). It not only preserves his likeness but also symbolizes the university’s resilience and continuation after World War II. The bust carries a quiet strength, as if reminding students that FEU was built on sacrifice and vision that should not be forgotten. The sculpture is found beside the entrance of FEU Library, 3rd Floor.

This is the historical mosaic bas-reliefs by Francesco Ricardo Monti, located in the Administration Building of Far Eastern University (FEU) Manila. It depict Filipino historical figures and events, blending classical European techniques with Filipino themes. Created in the mid-20th century, they are part of FEU’s collection of National Cultural Treasures, recognized for their artistic and historical value. Monti, an Italian sculptor who worked extensively in the Philippines, is known for his contribution to public art during the pre- and post-war periods. Monti used classical sculptural techniques on cement and stucco, blending Western realism with Filipino themes. Each panel is rich in symbolism: Chinese Era shows early trade and diplomacy; Spanish Era features conquest and religion (cross and sword); American Era emphasizes education and democracy.
