Benedicto Cabrera 

BenCab, as Cabrera is affectionately known in the


Philippines, is a well-known figure in the country's
contemporary art scene and the best-selling commercial
painter of his generation. At the University of the
Philippines, he studied under José Joya and graduated
with a degree in fine arts in 1963. His five-decade-long
successful career has seen his paintings, etchings,
sketches, and prints displayed across Asia, Europe, and
the US. He constructed his own four-level BenCab
Museum on Asin Road, which houses an eclectic
collection of indigenous items, personal works, and an astounding
collection of paintings by contemporary Filipino artists, where he currently
dwells in the frigid northern hill station of Baguio.

The 1896 notebook and journal of patriot


and master painter Juan V. Luna will be offered
for auction at Leon Gallery's annual weekend
Kingly Treasures auction on December 2.

diary has a starting bid of P1 million and
measures 5" x 9" (13 cm x 23 cm). The artist's

holdings of Elizabeth Troster and Ruth Francis make up the provenance.
The collection of artwork, drawings, and artifacts brought back from the
United States included this record. which Far East Bank and Trust
Company bought the most of and later given to the National Museum of the
Philippines, according to Ponce de Leon. The sketchbook-diary served as a
chronicle of Luna's travels to Japan. When the hitherto remote nation
opened its borders to European trade in 1860, "Japonisme," or the
infatuation with all things Japanese, initially took off, according to art history
scribe Lisa G. Nakpil in the catalog.

Fishermen and locals who frequently pass

Arsenal discovered a framed picture of the Virgin on
the beach at Caacao Bay. They discovered it close to
where she had appeared the night before. The parish

church. Along the port's ramparts, the Ermita de
Porta Vaga (Chapel of Vaga Gate) was eventually
constructed and housed the Shrine of Our Lady of
Solitude for three centuries.
