A masterpiece of encounters: ‘Pagtatagpo’ at the Likhang Filipino
The vernissage was nothing short of a cultural milestone, heightened by the presence of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, who led the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

It was a gathering that mirrored the very essence of its name — an encounter of creative minds, a convergence of vision and a chic celebration of the Filipino spirit.
The newly restored Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls — the nation’s latest bastion for the creative industry — served as the pristine backdrop for “Pagtatagpo.” This landmark exhibition, a collaboration between the premier Salcedo Auctions, Vetted and Fashion Aid Philippines, marked a sophisticated first for the venue.

At the heart of the hall stood the works of Lynyrd Paras, Vien Valencia and Marco Santos. While each artist occupies a distinct orbit in their career, their dialogue across diverse mediums felt seamless — a thoughtful conversation on purpose and inquiry that resonated throughout the gallery.
