Between 1909 and 1911, working women in the United States, united under the National Women’s Trade Union League and other groups, protested against low wages, lack of protective legislation, and harsh working conditions.<br /><br />These demonstrations were a response to the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in March 1911 in New York City, claiming the lives of over 140 working girls, primarily Italian and Jewish immigrants. The subsequent observances of IWD invoked the appalling working conditions and unfair labor practices leading up to the disaster.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The 2024 National Women’s Month Celebration aims to capitalize on the recurring theme “WE for gender equality and inclusive society,” introduced in 2023. This theme, launched to renew commitment to the advocacy, builds upon the accomplishments under the 2016-2022 theme, “WE Make CHANGE Work for Women.” The earlier theme stressed the importance of compassionate and harmonized networks towards gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE). <br /></p>vincemdUP85http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191311636869675498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972211460946523654.post-42000445989742495402024-02-27T21:19:00.000-08:002024-02-27T21:23:15.481-08:00Alla Prima, Painting the Portrait- Rommel de la Torre at the TOPS<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuZGSDczTv4_rLE7qXARJl7c3aqZmOgx47X3u78Xo_wNGbhqE-w-9uR2-qHzd_62JG0l2gbrQoCGdODUHu-UZ1JbULHqObmAsF5WqB9wLVHCYkC-yY2wVM_obA3_074ZZ0RD4hOOR698iC38ZfqshjqjfRRa5-Yo20c4Q3UMOdiCHevNpZS89AkXdYomh6/s1491/Screenshot_20240228_130621.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1491" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuZGSDczTv4_rLE7qXARJl7c3aqZmOgx47X3u78Xo_wNGbhqE-w-9uR2-qHzd_62JG0l2gbrQoCGdODUHu-UZ1JbULHqObmAsF5WqB9wLVHCYkC-yY2wVM_obA3_074ZZ0RD4hOOR698iC38ZfqshjqjfRRa5-Yo20c4Q3UMOdiCHevNpZS89AkXdYomh6/w290-h400/Screenshot_20240228_130621.jpg" width="290" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Leap to the Tops, this extra day of the Leap Year!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Born in Cebu City, Philippines in a community of artists, Filipino figurative painter Romel de la Torre's artistic interest started at a very young age.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div>Romel and his family migrated to the United States where he began going to museums studying and learning on his own; works of famous artists like Sargent, Sorolla, Fechin, Mucha, and the American Impressionists.

Christianity adopted nearly all the Jewish traditions concerning him, and he is mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7–12, where he does battle with Satan, and in the Epistle of Jude, where the author denounces heretics by contrasting them with Michael.</p>vincemdUP85http://www.blogger.com/profile/04191311636869675498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972211460946523654.post-45388610549027645042024-02-15T14:52:00.000-08:002024-02-16T01:51:09.038-08:00Precaria- The 9th Solo Show of Lucilo Jojo Sagayno<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfrAF-lBwL4B_eXzQRUD2l22BXUofGcdoNXAc_if2nFkAXco28_y7YaGZSTErgn0MmCVtYYQw5AiTVBQOnJd9rlhI58ubniFJ3dBNr_ZEoaRxKC_ANDVgsXVeJBWKYaFg93odpdVfpVsUa2vYbSJdhvoGEwCO7KiUgGxrExsZlj04NBCFXr-ekXstByR-/s1395/Screenshot_20240216_064649.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1395" data-original-width="964" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfrAF-lBwL4B_eXzQRUD2l22BXUofGcdoNXAc_if2nFkAXco28_y7YaGZSTErgn0MmCVtYYQw5AiTVBQOnJd9rlhI58ubniFJ3dBNr_ZEoaRxKC_ANDVgsXVeJBWKYaFg93odpdVfpVsUa2vYbSJdhvoGEwCO7KiUgGxrExsZlj04NBCFXr-ekXstByR-/w276-h400/Screenshot_20240216_064649.jpg" width="276" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://www.namiart-gallery.com/collections/lucilo-sagayno" target="_blank">Lucilo M.

Thus, it is natural for the gifted individual to develop his artistry while still young. However, knowing how difficult it is to consider art as a profession, not all of those who have artistic talents end up as artists, but more often than not, many have opted to take up another course, if only to attain a more lucrative life. This story has a semblance at how Roy Ama made his entry into the artworld.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8E_zs0CvhVBq7MPEZ5DZt7rT-eFiSc7NBkCqZyfvc_wVy67p0ivaEwfxi-Knu_GnD8n39W6amTqbeGcMT6rNgyS18ZCkwQSlQ_ClpQiwJfmT_5zwt_pqMRLN1P9pdUd4E72EYs36OSp5iApIBHcfU7Mi-H2kp49rCYGDC4B-u-jzz_alsNBNXv88yOyI4/s1433/Screenshot_20231114_050837.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1433" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8E_zs0CvhVBq7MPEZ5DZt7rT-eFiSc7NBkCqZyfvc_wVy67p0ivaEwfxi-Knu_GnD8n39W6amTqbeGcMT6rNgyS18ZCkwQSlQ_ClpQiwJfmT_5zwt_pqMRLN1P9pdUd4E72EYs36OSp5iApIBHcfU7Mi-H2kp49rCYGDC4B-u-jzz_alsNBNXv88yOyI4/w301-h400/Screenshot_20231114_050837.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div>Instead of nurturing his art, Roy has decided to takeup a course in <a href="https://www.ust.edu.ph/fine-arts-and-design/" target="_blank">Bachelor of Arts</a> at the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Santo_Tomas" target="_blank">University of Santo Tomas</a>. His love for music, however encouraged him to stop schooling for a while and joined a group of young musicians performing in a foreign country. Returning from his foreign stint, he was hoping that he still can continue his studies in <a href="https://www.ust.edu.ph/fine-arts-and-design/" target="_blank">UST</a>, however, he was informed that he had to retake most of the subjects that he had left behind. Finding the situation a waste of time, he decided to shift to Bachelor of Arts in Literature at <a href="https://www.lpu.edu.ph/" target="_blank">Lyceum University</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>As the eldest in the family, Roy had to assist his father in marketing their plastic products and school supplies, while studying. And as he aspired to be independent, he decided to establish his own business in garments, focusing more in T- shirt production and printing. Fully involved in this kind of business, Roy had to learn the importance of creative designing, thereby giving him an opportunity to shift to the business of advertising. It was in this stage of his life where he met big clients that helped him attain financial success.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnK8v1MwwYkByR0GN2eSY3C7Jdt9lfzzNoT6K7Q5c-oeg9ZNL1D5VfEGN8sBjaMeB5CkdJWEpncVdIiYCSJXqqDvBSp2zRt_PSSqFL1owTbvaZsADYBt_25gPcpJPYo97W2RvTVLmRZPPGr4wztGoAT03yBXqOyYkGa0hvdA6FU3XDh9kCRLd9JjcyFXK/s1344/Screenshot_20231117_055527.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1344" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsnK8v1MwwYkByR0GN2eSY3C7Jdt9lfzzNoT6K7Q5c-oeg9ZNL1D5VfEGN8sBjaMeB5CkdJWEpncVdIiYCSJXqqDvBSp2zRt_PSSqFL1owTbvaZsADYBt_25gPcpJPYo97W2RvTVLmRZPPGr4wztGoAT03yBXqOyYkGa0hvdA6FU3XDh9kCRLd9JjcyFXK/w321-h400/Screenshot_20231117_055527.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br /><div>As Roy's business became bigger he started to earn big.

With influences from Malay, Chinese and Indian culture, with a hefty dose of British colonialism thrown in, it offers fascinating architecture, plentiful culture, beautiful beaches and friendly locals. Not to mention the food…<br /><br />The capital, George Town, boasts plenty of old-world charm. Explore its time-capsule-worthy neighbourhoods from the back of a trishaw bike or follow the many murals and discover the city’s thriving street-art scene. But don’t stop at the city – head up to the cool summit of Penang Hill, explore the Tropical Spice Garden, or soak up the sun at Batu Ferringhi beach.<br /><br />You’d be remiss to not take Penang up on some of its signature dishes after a hard day of sightseeing.
