KNOWN for its wood-carved religious images, Paete is a haven for sculpture. But behind the religious images are two different sculptors whom I met while looking for the Last Supper.
When I entered Galerie Christine, I was amazed by the paintings and sculpture displayed.
There I met a young sculptor, Glenn Cagandahan, a Fine Arts graduate of the University of the Philippines-Diliman. He shared that he once only created art when he was in the mood. But then, sometimes it takes a month before inspiration motivates him to do sculptures. His wake-up call came when he was asked to do masks for a theatrical production at the University of the Philippines-Los Baños.
Here’s a video interview I conducted.
INQUIRER.NET multimedia reporter Erika Tapalla is in the US now, and while driving around she saw a very familiar restaurant and decided to pay a visit.

CEBU CITY, Philippines–More than P60 million will be spent by a group of shipping companies for 50 marine transportation and engineering scholars next school year.
The 50 scholars, who will be enrolled at the University of Cebu (UC), are beneficiaries of the cadetship program of the International Maritime Employers Committee (IMEC), a group of 120 European ship owners and ship management companies that operates 6,500 ships.
Captain Cedric D’Souza, training consultant of IMEC, said the association trust fund will be used to finance the students’ scholarship, which include tuition, board and lodging, uniform and books that is equivalent to more than P130,000 per student in one school year.
