The appropriation of ART in Bonifacio Global City is such that they are worthy of being tourist spots or simply must-sees in the premier city of Taguig.  Installation art transforms a space and becomes a marker for a street or avenue.  Here are the first three sculptures that you can find in BGC.

THE TREES by Reynato Paz Contreras is located at Burgos Circle.  Contreras’ message “May this sculptural piece remind everyone of the need to preserve the environment to sustain life and development not just today but for the future as well.”

ALAB NG PUSO (Fire in the Heart) by sculptor Daniel de la Cruz is a tribute to the Filipino soldier.  The steel panel displays Lupang Hinirang.  The national anthem’s lyrics were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899.

I like the theme of this sculpture – the soldier reading a letter apparently from his family which gives credence to the traditional values of God, Country, Family.

You can find Alab ng Puso between 3rd and 5th Avenues on Bonifacio High Street.

PASASALAMAT by Ferdinand Cacnio.

Along Rizal Drive and 3rd Ave on Bonifacio High Street you will find the fishermen.  According to Cacnio, the sculpture is “Two human figures pause in the middle of the banca, holding up their fishing net, heavy with a bountiful harvest, solemnly thanking God and surrendering everything to Him.”

Living at BGC gets one closer to arts and culture.  I feel proud of Filipino art and artistry.
