David Medalla’s Tuloy Po Kayo Exhibit

Excerpt from “Prankster in Residence” published by BusinessWorld:

Internationally renowned artist David Medalla shocked the organizers of Ateneo’s Gawad Tanglaw ng Lahi Award when he disrupted the solemn ceremony by leading an early exodus out of the school’s Leong Hall.

On Nov. 27, the Ateneo de Manila University honored Mr. Medalla with the award, which is given to individuals or organizations that have upheld the Filipino identity through significant contributions in culture and the arts.

The event also celebrated the opening of Mr. Medalla’s exhibit Tuloy Po Kayo, which includes several portraits of foreigners who have made an impact on the Philippines.
