| Walang Iwanan, Elmer Borlongan, 1999 |
The Pinto Art Museum has a vast collection of Philippine contemporary art and it requires more than a single visit to appreciate all that it has offer.
Elmer Borlongan or "Emong" describes his paintings as figurative expressionism. In an interview at the opening of one of his exhibitions, he said, "My paintings are firsthand. I paint things I see everyday." Emong received the Thirteen Artists Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1994. This award was originally conceived to recognize artists who "took the chance and risk to restructure, restrengthen and renew art making and art thinking". Emong is widely regarded as one of the foremost painters in the Philippine contemporary art scene today.I like the playful mood of Walang Iwanan. In Filipino culture, the phrase, "walang iwanan" (no one is left behind) is commonly heard between friends and families. A good friend will always stand by your side.
| Ultimo Cinco, Mark Orozco Justiniani, Oil on canvas, 1993 |
UltimoCinco is a parody of Da Vinci's Last Supper. Here the gamblers (which have replaced the 12 apostles) are looking up and anticipating the fall of the die which will decide the fate of their bets.

Art and science
By Robert P Crease in Singapore
It’s not often that you come across a museum exhibit based on a Physics World article. But I did on Saturday at the Mind Museum – an extraordinarily beautiful and original science museum in Taguig, on the outskirts of Manila in the Philippines.
Not only that, the exhibit is right at the entrance. You may recall that I once askedPhysics World readers for their thoughts on the 10 most beautiful experiments and wrote up the results in an article in September 2002. The project turned into a book, The Prism and the Pendulum: The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments in Science, which came out the following year and which Physics World reviewed.
Maria Isabel Garcia, who was planning exhibits for the then-future Mind Museum, saw the article and book, and created an exhibit based on it, consisting of videos and explanations of each of the 10 experiments, along with a sculpture designed by the Philippine artist Daniel de la Cruz.
Garcia – who among other things writes the weekly “Science Solitaire” column for social-news network Rappler – took me through the museum. All its exhibits, in fact – apart from one globe and one T. rex skeleton – are original, interactive and sprang from collaborations between scie
