One good thing about Karaw Craftventure is that they are empowering the women inmates of Naga City Correctional facility to actualize their potentials as productive members of our society. Not only are the women inmates earning from making plush toys, they are also involved in designing. From the initial designs I gave them, they were able to express their creativity in choosing and pairing colors, patterns, and textures. They also maintain high quality control of the products.
This year, I became part of the branding team of Naga’s latest attraction. Que Pasa is not only a barbecue place on the corner of Calle Iglesia and Barlin st, it is also place for art lovers and instagram people. I filled its walls and doors with Filipino/Mexican/Spanish themed murals. Local artists painted the portals inspired with literature written in Spanish language.
Thanks to Carlo and Rica Buenaflor for this opportunity.
