So happy to always see Tita Maritess in many events, mostly art events but also in events that patronize our very own. There are some people I know who are so passionate about promoting our very own and Tita Maritess is one of them. Thank you Tita, we need more people like you Aside from being a Board of Director of MaARTe, she is also instrumental as Chairman, FilipinaZ Arts and Fashion Fair in another foundation, The Zonta Cub of Makati and Environs Foundation Inc. ( ZCME )
Art and Fashion Fair On September 12 to 14 at the Rockwell Tent
She told me that this shopping event will merge fashion and art. Beside her in this photo is a Limited edition Joy Mallari titled Ligaw 2006, The original is in the Pinto Museum and there will be 15 of these for sale

The ZCME is known for staging an annual fundraising activity in order to generate funds to support its projects, to wit: training disadvantaged women in livelihood skills and thereafter providing them with microcredit for their microbusiness, providing them with free Pap smear tests and breast-cancer screening, advising them on their legal rights, rehabilitating sexually-abused girls aged 6 to 17 in a haven in Marillac Hills, etc.  For this year, the Fair will highlight creations featuring designers, artisans, creative entrepreneurs and the like. It further intends to mobilize, sensitize and most importantly, empower women.

FilipinaZ Art and Fashion Fair by the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs Foundation Inc.

I also met a young boy (17 yrs old) Francisco Coching the IV. In the photo is his Dad and manager, Pam Banoi. Francisco rolls masking tape and makes them into beautiful works of art. He told me he would do this when he gets bored in class 🙂 The eagle in the photo took him two months to make and if you look close there is so much detail in it. What a unique form of art!! He is the grandson of National artist for a Visual Arts, Francisco V. Coching, the illustrator
