Aspiring Angono artists receive support for their art

Angono, Rizal, known as the “Art Capital of the Philippines,” and home to two National Artists – Carlos “Botong” Francisco and Maestro Lucio D. San Pedro, is also the home of the Regional Lead School for The Arts in Angono (RLSAA). The public school filled with talented young aspiring artists, however, lacks facilities for their Arts program. A class of 40 just has two picnic tables for them to create future masterpieces.

In an effort to support of the future of Philippine Arts, Rebisco Philippines provided RLSAA with easels, a television set, chairs, and tables. The company also transformed a portion of the school into a fully-equipped gallery, that may also turn into a classroom, where the aspiring artists can exhibit their work.

“They gave us easels and an exhibit hall. But to put their trust on our students to design the Rebisco Special Designer Tin Cans, I cannot find the words to express my gratitude,” said Aileen Carbonell, the principal of RLSAA.

Just last year, the company launched the Rebisco Special Designer Tin Cans to celebrate Philippine Arts. This year, artworks of three RSLAA’s visual arts students, Dave Dauz (18), Lyra Lacanaria (17), and Julia Baluyut (13), are included in the special edition of the cans, along with works from visual artists, Dominic Pingol and Aljo Rubio.

“In our little way, we try to provide for the students of RLSAA. To these kids, art is actually a ticket to a better life,” said Rebisco Head of Marketing Communications, Lulu dela Peña, during the unveiling of the Rebisco Special Designer Tin Cans.

“Moving forward, we will not stop the support for RLSAA and we will continue supporting different wellsprings of art. The next Luna or Amorsolo could be in Mindanao or Visayas just waiting for someone to help them.” shared Project Head, Popoy Navarro, about the company’s goal to support budding artists across the country.

Now available in supermarkets nationwide, the Rebisco Special Designer Tin Can contains the best of Rebisco products such as Rebisco Crackers, Rebisco Sandwich, Choco Mucho, Wafer Time, Frootees, and Hansel.
