Bukidnon children’s artworks showcased in France By MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor

he kids of barangay Kisayab, an extremely remote community in San Fernando, Bukidnon may have never set foot anywhere else in the Philippines, let alone in Cagayan de Oro. But some 12,054 kilometers and two continents away in a city called Brest in France lies an arts studio called PL Pilier-Rouge. For a whole month last September 2014, the whole gallery of PL Pilier-Rouge was reserved for the simple artworks made by 32 children from barangay Kisayab. Louie Talents (yup that’s his real name), a Cagayanonborn artist based in Paris, brought the artworks when he went back to France last May. But it was only half of the story which gave birth to Talents’ Meupia Art Project. It so happened that French schoolchildren from Ecole Petit-Paris saw a video documenting the Manobo children
doing their artworks. The French schoolchildren were so moved that right on the spot, they also made bondpaper size artworks with a touch of stickers and words of what they intended to say and show the Manobo children. Owing to the slim chances for these Manobo and French schoolchildren to personally meet and the language barrier to consider, the creative letters wree merged together by Talents through artistic cauterization to form one artwork with a visual image of a French girl giving comfort to a Manobo boy. “Meupia Art Project is a socially engaged art which aims to communicate art as a reflective and achievable idea through confrontation. It aims to raise public awareness of these talented Manobo children and a symbolic statement of fighting for children’s rights,” Talents said. It all started when the globe-trotting Talents went back to his Northern Mindanao roots in 2013 searching for inspiration for his latest artwork and went to the farthest barangay of Kisayab, 19 kilometers from San Fernando proper. It was there that he had a cultural awakening. “I started with a wall-bound artwork study of using
acrylic paint with tribal fabrics found in the island of Mindanao, Philippines. I felt it was not enough so I decided to go deeper with my research and immerse myself in the community. Then I found out that the Manobos are among the largest tribal populations in Mindanao who practice farming with an integral component of their ideological system based specifically on their conception of the world believing in the supernatural and natural world,” Talents said. While on cultural immersion in barangay Kisayab, Talents talked to the elders and vowed to help them pass on and preserve to the younger generation their ancestral culture. The Meupia Art Project is only one of them. Earlier in April this year, Talents brought the Manobo children to Cagayan de Oro City where they performed their original native dances at the Xavier University Little Theater. Talents’ next project would be to establish a sustaining cultural center in San Fernando town. The project is being supported by two local government units (LGUs) located 12,054 kilometers apart – the municipality of San Fernando in Bukidnon and the city of Brest in France.

THINKING OF GIVING UP? http://www.chinkeetan.com/
TAN by CHINKEE
Are you going through tough times and challenges? Are you on the brink of giving up and quitting? Are you losing hope and is at the stage of depression? If you are experiencing it today, this is the right message for you today. God wants to tell you no matter what happens, never give up! I personally have also gone through stages of failure, depression and hopelessness. I’ve also failed many times in my personal career, business and made bad decisions in the past. This is what I’ve discovered… EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES Mistakes and pains in life are grand essentials and ingredients in order for us to become better and not to become bitter. It is there to bring out the best and not the worst in us.
WHAT GIVES HOPE? What give me the most hope everyday is the promise of God, knowing even if everything fails but one thing will stand and remain is his love and faithfulness. Even if everyone abandons me, He will never leave me nor forsake me. This is where I draw my comfort and assurance that everything will work out for good, if I just believe and hang on to his promises despite of what I am seeing and experiencing in the present. Let us not allow the mistakes hurt us continually in the present. Let us put our hope in God who can heal and help us to build our future. THE PROMISE 2 Cor 4:17,18 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Most people live by sight but the people of God live by faith. Some people say, “To see it to believe.” Gods people say, “To believe is to see.” Never tell God how big your problem is, why don’t you tell your problem how big your God is!

Renesmee resurrected IN 2012, I vividly recalled distinctly that I wrote a post on Facebook that a Twilight sequel starring a grown-up Renesmee paired with her soulmate, the age-defying wolf Jacob, should be made. In the last Twilight installment Breaking Dawn Part 2, the movie series parted us with a sort of cliffhanger because in that movie, the teenage Jacob was befriending a tenyear-old Renesmee. Having been “imprinted” upon the child, Jacob already knew at the time that Renesmee was his soulmate. Renesmee still being a kid wasn’t aware of any of these things. So he vowed to take care of her throughout their lives.
It’s been two years after the last Breaking Dawn was released and I was just surprised to see Renesmee…at least the actress who played her… morph into a blossoming teen. Clearly, she’s not anymore the pure and innocent Renesmee that I envisioned two years ago. Now, she’s one adorable 14-year-old who has a very important role in Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi flick Interstellar. In the movie, Mackenzie Foy plays the teenage daughter of the main character who felt rage for her father who left him because he needs to explore the stars to search for habitable planets for mankind to transfer to. Mackenzie is luck enough to land a role

under Christopher Nolan’s mentoring since the very dynamic director is one of the few in the movie industry today who is not afraid to extend the themes of his film products beyond what is conventional. It’s really an eerie feeling to see children grow up to become adorable young adults. I am now 36 years old and I already have a batchmate that has a 15-year-old daughter. Wow that seems insane to me! I may still have a hangover of my 20s hehe.. On Sunday nights in the past, I used to follow the Daddy di do du sitcom on GMA Network. The adorable child actress in the TV series,

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - Even your well thoughtout plans could meet unexpected opposition today, but your best ideas can still reach fruition if you’re open to making tactical changes along the way. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - You could face a tricky situation today if you need to deal with someone who holds authority over you while remaining unsupportive of your efforts. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - You might set out to please everyone today, but ironically could end up alienating others if you don’t consider your needs, too. The sociable Libra Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Companions prompts you to deny your own desires so you can take care of someone else. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Being of service to others isn’t only a kind thing to do, it’s also productive now that the Moon is in your 6th House of Work. Earning money isn’t your primary concern today; helping those who are less fortunate is your top priority.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Family dynamics are in the spotlight when the Moon returns to your 4th House of Security today. If parenting is your main responsibility, then you could have less free time available for other activities now. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You long for some quiet time today so you can think about the recent twists and turns in your life. Unfortunately, the road ahead may not be very easy to navigate, so it’s a sensible idea to visualize a more direct route to success.
Liesel Matthews, the girl who played the President’s daughter in Air Force One, is now happily married to a lucky husband who will inherit her Hyatt fortune. As recent as a week ago, I was watching E! Philippines when the host welcomed his guest on stage who’s promoting his new movie, Haley Joel Osment. Man, he now sports facial hair! That’s facial hair dude! And I last saw him in Steven Spielberg’s AI: Artificial Intelligence. But the most epic of them all….Elle Fanning! Elle Fanning grew out of her sister Dakota’s shadow. I last saw her as a toothless five-yearold in Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro. Recently,

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You’re searching for little ways to alter the daily routines of your life, but you don’t want to upset the status quo. Perhaps you have grown tired of having so many good ideas, only to discover that the big things in your life remain unchanged.
Isabella de Leon, faded from the limelight after Daddy di do du ended its run in 2005. When she resurfaced earlier this year, she became a stunning curvaceous 20-year-old. I can still distinctly recall an 11-year-old Shaina Magdayao still imitating her ate Vina Morales’ makeup stunts. Now all you remember about Shaina is her trysts with John Lloyd Cruz…hehe! The phenomenon is not limited to the Philippines. Ariana Richards, the 13-yearold who stood on her own against dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park, has already left the movie industry and is now an accomplished visual artist in Los Angeles.

Special Gospel of the day: Luke7:3650(November18, 2014-Tuesday) Luke 7:36-50-And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment: In our gospel, we can relate the sinner woman as “representative” of all human beings who are also sinners. In Romans 3:10-as it is written, there is “none righteous,” no, not one. In 1 John 1:8-if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But the ques-

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You may encounter an unexpected speed bump on the road of life today and though it requires you to slow down, there’s no need for a detour. Just take unscheduled events in stride and do the best you can to maintain a healthy sense of humor. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - Your responsibilities aren’t as simple as you had wished today, setting the tone for the entire week ahead. Don’t waste precious energy trying to put on a happy face for others, just because that’s what they expect from you. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You have reached an unavoidable fork in the road. Projects that have required your attention throughout the year may be reaching a point of completion. Or you might realize things are not turning out as expected and you must cut your losses and move on. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - You don’t have a lot of free time available today, but you still want to escape for a little while, anyhow. Meanwhile, your workmates keep reminding you of how many tasks you still have to complete. CAPRICORN(December22–January19)-Anexcessiveamountofstresscould act as a powerful catalyst today, giving you a perfect chance to prove your competence to your boss.
