Kobe taught us how work ethic makes you better at more than just the work. It teaches you discipline, perseverance, and dedication. As someone who played sports most of my life, Kobe was one you studied and learned from. And for his daughter to be with him.... soul crushing.... pic.twitter.com/aIiWLZiRV8— Corey Hudson Dirrig (@CoreyinHD713) January 26, 2020

CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art Hits UP Library
The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman community officially welcomed the most comprehensive and authoritative source book on Philippine art and culture into the libraries of their colleges and schools.
In the presence of UP Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan, Vice Chancellor for Research and Development Fidel Nemenzo, and the University of the Philippines Press, over 300 sets of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Encyclopedia of Philippine Art (CCP EPA) were officially turned over for the use of the university’s students and faculty in all units across the nation.
“UP scholars served as editors, writers, researchers, creative and technical directors as well as support staff,” CCP Vice President and Artistic Director Chris Millado said in Filipino. “This project would also not be possible without its editorial, research and project management staff, majority of which were produced by this prestigious institution.”
The University of the Philippines has made numerous contributions to Filipino history and humanities. Many essays and articles about the university are written into the CCP EPA. The university has produced 21 National Artists and educated four presidents of the Republic of the Philippines.
“Their dedication towards making this grand project in the last years, as well as their undying cooperation with the cultural center only proves that UP is still and will always be the home of outstanding scholars in service of the nation,” he said in Filipino. Millado was represented by Libertine Dela Cruz, Project Manager of the CCP EPA.
With 12 volumes, over 5000 entries, and over 3500 images, the CCP EPA contains quintessential information on everything Filipino from north to south, urban to rural, and indigenous to contemporary.
“We strongly encourage you to embody and take part in our goal of disseminating knowledge on Philippine arts and culture, stimulating new ideas, and creating new works that will enrich our country’s heritage,” Millado said.
The CCP EPA is now on a course to go digital as production for its online edition is currently underway, and is set to be launched next year.

CCP's 'Viewed Through a 360 Lens' Opens December
The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) closes off the decade with a new media exhibition by Gericho Iniel Cruz. The exhibit #
In his own words, Cruz explains: “Kung bubuodin: Eksperimentasyon ang proyekto kung papano magagamit ang teknolohiya gaya ng 360-degree cam. Kung papaano maihahatid ng sining ang kakanyahan ng karanasan sa digital space. Sa madaling sabi: Kung papano dadalhin ang pisikal na lunan ng CCP sa elektronikong kalawakan ng World Wide Web. Halina’t tuklasin, siyensa ng kinabukasan."
Cruz’s interest in new media art started with him creating glitch paintings in 2011. From there, he started to theorize the notion of glitch through art and its parallels in society. He included videos, circuits, microcontrollers, IPad’s and other forms of new media in the various group exhibitions that he joined thereafter, such as those in Kaida Gallery, Altro Mondo, and Vinyl on Vinyl.
