In This Issue
After several rain-lashed weeks, we hope we can expect days filled with sunshine this August. The seemingly endless days of dismal weather can take their toll and depress even the most jovial among us, but it’s important not to lose our sense of humor and make the most of the monsoon season. It’s nice to see many of our Members seek refuge from the rain at the Club, finding comfort in a bowl of congee, perhaps, or a nice cup of cappuccino, or even a glass - or more - of bubbly. We round up some cold weather comfort food dishes for you to indulge in during the rainy season.

On Show Spanish Fever

The flash floods that ensue whenever there’s a downpour highlight the reality of climate change, easily one of the most pressing issues we face today. That, and a plethora of other global crises, inform the exclusive show of Spanish contemporary art at Manila House throughout the month of August. The show came about in conversation with Manuel Ocampo, a Filipino artist swiftly rising to international prominence, not least because of the presence of his art at the most recent Venice Biennale as the centerpiece exhibition at the Philippine Pavilion. Manuel’s work has been described as a fusion of “sacred religious iconography with secular political narrative.” While it may be simplistic to say that the religious elements in his art could be attributed to the Spanish influence in Philippine culture, one cannot deny the audacity with which he tackles contemporary issues.
In Cased You Missed It Going in Circles Symphonic Sounds Breathing Life in Old Buildings
Instead of showcasing his own formidable body of work at Manila House, Manuel opted to curate a show of Spanish artists who present their vision of today’s crisis-ridden world, called Cast Swine Before Pearls. There is whimsy, fantasy and fatalism, as well as an interest in both the scatological and eschatological. And despite the avowed secularism of Spanish society, there is a biblical reference in the show’s title, a twist of sorts of the phrase “cast ye your pearls before swine,” from the gospel of Matthew.

News Benefits and Privileges
You’d have to come and see this show to decipher its many intriguing layers. It may not offend religious feelings, but Carlos Celdran, who brings his brilliant one-man performance based on the life of Imelda Marcos to Manila House for one night only on August 27, has been accused - and convicted (!) - of riling up the clergy. Fortunately, he is yet to serve his jail sentence, which means he can still entertain and provoke us with his deft and hilarious commentary on the Martial Law years through the metamorphosis of the former First Lady from probinsyana to Steel Butterfly.

MEET TH E S TA FF
Get to Know: Selina Ocampo Her baptism of fire was the first New Year’s Eve Dinner at Manila House, when she was thrust into running the Banqueting Department upon returning to Manila after living and studying in New York. Today, Selina Ocampo lives, breathes and eats food as she handles research and development in conjunction with the F&B department When did you realize food was your calling? The first instance was Thanksgiving. It was during the aftermath of a gruelling six-hour preparation. My favorite part of the night was watching all my loved ones eat and enjoy. I think that's when I knew I loved making people happy through food. Then I decided to take a leap and apply to culinary school. I was nervous and was worried that I had found my passion “too late”. Then I came to learn one of the many important lessons in life, “It’s never too late. Don’t be afraid to fail. The most fulfilling feeling is waking up every morning doing what you love. So, do what you love”. From then on, I never looked back. Thank you, Dad. What do you love about the work you do at Manila House? Manila House is a young company with so much potential for growth. I’ve worked in Manila House for two years and I’ve learned hard lessons and experienced great achievements. It’s been a great training ground.
When you get the chance to cook, what do you like to make? Have you ever watched the scene in the movie Chef when Jon Favreau makes Aglio e Olio? If not, you should. There’s something about pasta that’s comforting and made with so much love. Such a simple dish but with endless possibilities. How do you relax when you’re not working? I like to wind down and curl up with a book. Just kidding, I love TV. I’ve really enjoyed Westworld, The Handmaid's Tale and Killing Eve. Congratulations Sandra Oh for being the first Asian woman nominated for the best lead actress award. What kind of food do you reach out for when you’re craving junk food? I rarely crave junk but if I had to pick it would be Sour Cream and Cheddar Cheese Ruffles. But the real cravings I have are Hai Shin Lou E-fu Noodles with Seafood or Din Tai Fung 5-pc crab and pork xiao long bao with a side of salted egg squid. That really gets me going.
What are your favorite food destinations around the world? Japan. I could eat uni and toro forever.

Carlos Celdran The driving force behind the first-ever Manila Biennale, Carlos Celdran is many things - a cultural activist, a tour guide, a performance artist. His stage has always been Manila - the city of myth and gritty reality. Carlos at the Manila Biennale
You’re an illustrator, a painter, a cartoonist, a graphic artist. How did you get into performance art?
Street life is practically non-existent, streetside businesses are dying, and community green spaces are getting increasingly commercialized.
When I was a junior in the Painting Department of the Rhode Island School of Design back in 1995, I found out I was allergic to oil paint. Linseed oil, zinc, and cadmium would make my skin peel and give intense headaches.
We left Manila's urban planning to corporate entities and a divided governing class. It’s not going to end well. You organized the successful inaugural Manila Biennale. How do you think it helped to change perceptions of the city for those who live in it as well as for those who rarely venture to that side of town but did so to see the Biennale?
So in order to graduate, I had to dive into performance art. It was quite a risk back then as performance art still wasn’t taken seriously by the art community all. But all performance art follows visual arts history - as an inspiration and a foundation - so I was able to justify my works as “painterly”. It worked out well, my thesis piece called Walang Pamagat at the top of my class, winning the Yvonne Force Art Award.
Our main market was the people of Manila, the artists of Manila, and an audience that’s not usually exposed to “art”.
You clearly have a passion for Manila, warts and all. What is it about Manila that you find most frustrating?
We didn’t want to create a precious event for Manila’s collector crowd. There’s already enough geared to them. We wanted a site-specific exhibition that truly put the city on show as much as the art.
Frustrating: The stringent division of social classes. There’s no middle ground it seems. The middle and upper classes live inside the new walled cities of malls, gated communities and condominiums, leaving the rest of the city to live within the spaces left in between.
And thank heavens the risk worked. Intramuros’ visitor attendance increased by 64%. And we were also reviewed by Ocula, Art Asia Pacific, and Frieze Magazine. We’re definitely looking forward to producing the Manila Biennale 2020. 6

One Night Only Carlos Celdran brings his acclaimed one-man show on the (alleged) life of the former First Lady Imelda Marcos to Manila House

"Manila won’t go back to what it was but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it better." You’re a controversial figure who has managed to piss off the church, the government and many others in-between. How do you deal with all the drama? I don’t. I have little mini melt-downs. Don’t we all? What’s the best reaction you’ve ever gotten for your Imelda show? The worst?
Livin’ La Vida Imelda Monday, August 27 Doors open at 6:30PM Tickets P1500 per person
The best was whenever I have a standing ovation at the end of the show (it doesn’t happen much - hahaha). My worst was when a drunk Australian guy threw a choc-nut at me onstage. For realz. He did. Will Manila ever recover its Pearl of the Orient status?
To reserve your ticket, please email events@manilahouseinc.com
I’d really like a new monicker for Manila. Pearl of the Orient is not only unachievable but every other city has laid claim to it already. Manila won’t go back to what it was but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it better. Look forward. Always. 7
ON SHOW
Spanish Fever An unprecedented group show featuring contemporary Spanish artists, graces our walls this month
T
his thought-provoking show is curated by Philippine artist Manuel Ocampo, who has been a vital presence in the international art scene, being part of seminal exhibitions and being featured in landmark international exhibition platforms such as the Venice Biennale. He has also curated and organized shows that provide opportunity for dialogue and exchange among artists with shared cultural and historical experiences. The show, titled Cast Swine Before Pearls: Spanish Contemporary Painting in Our Dysfunctional Era, is an examination of how artists from a country that produced Goya, Velazquez and Picasso respond to current crisis issues which are global in scope. This exhibit is poised to be a great opportunity to learn from the different expressions and representations of the human condition responding to prevailing social ills and tensions we all are experiencing. The exhibit title is an inversion from the phrase taken from the King James version of the Bible: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest
they trample them under their feet, and turn again, and rend you." (Matthew 7:6). It is an idiom to an axiom - to give things of value to those who will not understand or appreciate them. The inversion of the phrase functions as a symbol of an upended world. In the works of these 10 leading contemporary painters such as Patricio Cabrera, Valeria Cavestany, Chema Cobo, Curro Gonzalez, Irene Ire, Abraham Lacalle, Pablo Milicua, Gorka Mohamed, Guillermo Paneque, and Yolanda Tabanera, are themes that deal with social crisis and uncertainty, the growing tension between nature and civilization, the internal and external struggle with oneself and with society, and the role of humor in art. The topicality of these themes gleans to intuitive tendencies to such thinking as a symptom of changes in the world and the setting of collective thought. This concept of the exhibition also interprets contemporary figurative painting based on the idea of cultural meltdown.

Going in Circles If there’s the cycle of life, there’s also the cycle of waste. The June Monday Minds session featured Angela Chen, a recent Manila transplant from Toronto, who talked about the Circular Economy
L
Last June 25, Angela Chen talked about the Circular Economy during our Monday Minds session. As co-founder of Impact Capitalyst in Toronto, she develops financial instruments to address the natural resource challenges of sustainable development in emerging markets. Sharing her insights in transforming the world from a linear model to a circular model, she highlighted the world’s plastics problem. With ocean plastics heavily coming from China, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, she pointed out how plastic leakage points demonstrate that opportunities lie for increased recycling for thin film plastics and sachet packages which takes more cost to collect and dispose. Philippines has the highest collection rates in Asia but there’s still a lot of plastics leaking into the oceans.
ife on earth operates in a cycle. Imagine the life of a butterfly: It starts out as an egg, hatches into a caterpillar, forms itself into a pupa, emerges into a butterfly, lays its egg on some leaves, and the cycle starts over. When the butterfly dies, its remains simply turn into nutrients for the earth’s soil. And so nothing is truly lost or wasted in the life cycle of a butterfly—or for any other living thing on earth. This time, imagine the life of a smart phone: We buy a new phone, the company releases a new model, we throw away our old but completely functional phone, we buy a new phone. One can argue that the consumer behavior is in itself a cycle: we buy and throw away, buy and throw away. But we can’t say the same for the actual life of the smartphone—or any other product produced within our current economy.
If we continue down this path, the human race will not survive.
Ideas and solutions were proposed during the group discussion - from policy incentives to corporate and community initiatives for collection. There is a great need for social and economic reforms in order make an impact in addressing this global challenge. As a country which greatly contributes to the problem, we must make great strides to create effective solutions. With the rapid changes in technology and innovation, a new breed of business models have begun to lead the shift. From sharing economy models such as Uber and Airbnb to circular supplies and product life extension, there are many ways to transform the status quo and maintain the benefits for both profit and our planet.
Humans have devised a linear approach. After we throw away a product, unlike the butterfly, the remains of the smartphone won’t go back as nutrients for the earth’s soil. Rather, it will just stay on earth as trash with little or no value at all. From our day-to-day lives, it’s easy to think that our trash has no effect on the rest of the world but multiply that by the millions of people on earth and the number of years we live here and you’ll see the bigger picture: we will end up with a world full of trash. The natural cycle on earth, juxtaposed with our economy’s linear approach, doesn’t add up. The earth and its cycle is something we have no control over, but our economy is something we do—and this is what the Circular Economy proposes to address.

Symphonic Sounds The Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra held a fundraising afternoon concert at Manila House before leaving for Europe to compete once more at an international music festival in Vienna, where they took First Prize
The MSJO Concert
T
he 47-piece band of talented young musicians aged 10 23 that make up the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra (MSJO) under the masterful baton of Jeffrey Solares, gave Manila House Members and guests a sneak preview of what awaited the jury at the 11th Summa Cum Laude International Music Festival in Austria. The orchestra members treated the concert as a dry run for the competition. Halfway through the concert, they practiced their entrance, their repertoire, and their exit in front of the captivated audience. They played beautifully, showcasing the music of Mozart, Dvorak, Alcala, Florante and Castillon, as the competition sneak preview. They also played Vivaldi, Green and Bach, and threw in a couple of pop songs with a classical twist for good measure: Yellow Submarine by The Beatles and Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N Roses.
Practice clearly makes perfect, and the MSJO bagged First Prize in the String Orchestra competition category in Vienna. A member of the jury, Christoph Ehrenfellner, even made a comment about their performance, remarking on the warmth of their sound, with their movements on stage evoking the waves of the sea, something that he and his fellow Austrians apparently envied about the Philippines, being in a landlocked country. The MSJO shared joint first place with Israel’s Jerusalem Conservatory Hassadna String Orchestra, besting other musical ensembles from 14 different countries.

Breathing New Life into Old Buildings The Heritage Conservation Society (HCS) hosted a talk last May that focused on efforts to preserve old buildings and architectural landmarks by repurposing them. One of the speakers, Stephen Cheng, talked about how he transformed Laperal Apartments
H
e’s been called the “Tony Stark of CM Recto” for his visionary efforts to save old buildings around the university belt from total ruin, finding life in a crumbling structure well past its glory days.
At the HCS talk, he showed the before-and-after transformation of the historic Laperal Apartments from dilapidated, forgotten edifice to cheery, affordable, welldesigned and functional housing for university students in the area. He renamed it YOUniversity Suites. Think of it as “heritage meets hip” in which an iconic building of Old Manila is restored and reborn into cool, new apartments. Laperal Apartments was one of several art-deco style structures erected over the once posh area along Calle Azcarraga, now CM Recto, signaling the rebirth of Manila from the ruins of World War II. In the past, housed famous businesses such as Estrel’s Cakeshop. “When we acquired it, it was in terrible shape,” he said. “It was built in 1946. When we got it, we weren’t sure what we were going to do with it. So we planned to make it into a dormitory because we saw how other dormitories in the area looked like.”
Vestiges of the original building remain but inside, Laperal Apartments has been completely repurposed as student housing.
YOUniversity Suites is now the gateway to 18 colleges, universities and review institutions in the area. It currently houses 85 apartments, with an additional 14-story building in the works. Adjacent to YOUniversity suites is a modern retail center with a variety of shops, F&B outlets and sports facilities intended to complement university life.
