Place navigation on the left of the screenIt was only in the Philippines where you find a member of the so-called Manila’s Finest being apprehended for the crime of snatching. It is also only in the Philippines where you can now find the “biggest outdoor art gallery in Asia.” The latter is good news. We love it when things turn for the better, and aren’t screwy, as some events and happenings in this country are.
This humble space can’t help but laud the gigantic effort of the Outdoor Advertising Association of the Philippines (OAAP) to mount works of art in the metro’s major highways. While it is human to ogle at those beautiful faces and sexy bodies in billboards peppered by artistas and lingerie-clad models around the city, contemplating about art while stuck in the traffic rut can be an edifying experience. And this commuters will see with masterpieces about nature and preserving the environment dominating ad spaces in some of the country’s major roads.
The Manila Outdoor Art Gallery route coming soon in the highway near you. Featured are the works of the most promising Filipino artists Popo San Pascual, Riel Hilario, Eddie Boy Escudero, Jose Terence Ruiz, Mario V. Fernandez, Gari Buenavista, MM Yu, Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Lotsu Manes, and Tina Fernandez .

Stumble It!
I simply adore the first four photos - I know little about the Philippines (were they taken there?) and it looks beautiful.
Absolutely awesome.
Yes Zed, those were all shot/made in the Philippines, by Filipino artists. The second picture is the Banaue Rice Terraces, one of our tourist landmarks here. Hope you’ll be able to go around these parts someday.
Cheers!
that first picture of the boy in the water looks familiar. i think theres already a billboard of it along the nlex.
I love these pictures……..
My favorite is Hayup Ka.
“The best things in life are not always things.” My Favorite!! Nice meeting you last Oct 16 Ms. Annalyn! More Power
This would be a welcome change where art will be featured.
btw, “It was only in the Philippines where you find a member of the so-called Manila’s Finest being apprehended for the crime of snatching.” — is there also a Manila’s Finest in, say, Singapore or other countries?
Sana kasama si Tito Rolls.
Dr. Emer, oo nga ano? Masyado kasing low-key si National Artist Rolly de los Santos
This is spectacular! It’s about time. I’m always going to be proud of the Philippines, but it’s so much better to be known as the country with the biggest outdoors gallery, than one with a crooked president.
Love the vibrant greens in these shots! Is the last one part of the outdoor gallery too? It looks like a magic fantasy painting!
i really liked that pic (1st one) and now I am reminded na tawagan pala si Jing on how to get a copy of that one! hahaha
