Thank you for sharing. It's such a beautiful exhibition and curating us through it deepens the appreciation for this rare exploration of our history, and piques my curiosity into the hidden stories in our artefacts.
I stumbled on this exhibition while staying in Ayala on a trip to the Philippines. I'd been researching pre colonial histories and it was like walking into the past, until you began to look closely at the paintings and objects. It was extraordinary. Thank you for posting the video allowing me to reexperience this fabulous exhibition.
Thank you, they're great visual. On the other hand, it seems bias as the paintings were heavy on Chinese Royal Heritage belonging in China and the settings from a Chinese shop. Were the paintings based on early Filipino artifacts or were the paintings based on someone else's imagination or assumptions? Were they from someone's indoctrination, someone like from the camps of the Rockefellers, to brainwash the Filipinos once again? The paintings can give people the wrong impression that the Gold had originated from China, thus it's lacking that authentic Filipino ownership of ancient history that the Philippines was supplying Gold even before the days of King Solomon. And in spite of supplying gold and infiltrated by unwelcome visitors for 3000 years, Philippines these days is #2 in untapped Gold. Africa being number 1 after just over 100 years. The paintings don't match the illustrations of the brave strong early brown Filipinos from the Boxer Codex, which they should, and not one with white delicate Chinese face. Such wrong or dishonest depictions can destroy the respect we look for internationally. Let's not waste time to sleep once again from the true identity of early Filipinos.

Maybe, because it does not only focus on Filipino identity rather, our southeast asian identity as a whole. Filipinos are related and linked to the rest of southeast asian pre colonially and china has profound influence on southeast Asia. Philippines is not an exemption.
I don't think so. I think the reason why china is always involved with southeast Asia is basically because southeast asian culture is mainly influenced by china and india

🖒👍
Beautiful work but why are the southeast Asians depicted as Chinese people?
I don't think so. I think the reason why china is always involved with southeast Asia is basically because southeast asian culture is mainly influenced by china and india
Probably just the artist's preference. He's also chinito in phenotype.
@@markjosephbacho5652 I don't think it has something to do with the artists' ancestry
