Macaraig, as a token of appreciation to the Embassy’s hosting of the exhibition. In support of the exhibition, Ambassador Macaraig welcomed the donation and opened the exhibit to the public for two days.
Supported by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, the “Kuwento ng Alon” traveling exhibit aims to foster cultural exchange and showcase the artistic interpretation of the song composed by songwriter and producer Jonathan Manalo through a series of artwork and art installations interpreted by Ms. Kristine Lim. Prior to Singapore, the exhibit was held in Sydney, Australia and Tokyo. Japan. Tours to key cities in Asia, North America and Europe are being planned for the rest of the year. (END).
