Pamana & Heritage Isabelle Alta Victoria Masuso Pots

Maria Angela Paz Irma

Monument to Arthur Walsh Fergusson (1912) Mariano Benlliure y Gil Pamana is Heritage’s best friend. She follows Heritage around like a puppy and would allow her to influences to take over her sense of self. She enjoys long walks on the beach, island hopping, and pork lechon. Heritage is Pamana’s “best friend”. She enjoys seeing Pamana become more like her and, although it may seem like it’s okay, her role in the relationship is obviously a toxic dominantor. She enjoys making minions out of struggling girls.

Figurine of Victory (Circa 1910) Isabelo Tampinco Victoria is the epitome of a party. She celebrates with such passion for the event and such joy for the people who celebrate with her. It’s no mistake that one would come across her in the smallest of gatherings. Despite all the parties, she keeps her college GPA at a 2. 4 average and keeps up with her family during Sundays. She volunteers at animal shelters and donates the party clothes she has grown out of to young girls who struggle with their insecurities.

Grecian Lady Holding Grapes Isabelo Tampinco y Lacandola Isabelle, who often goes by the nickname Isa or Sabel, really isn’t much of a story. She keeps her poise as she walks around the area with bunches of fruit in hand. Sometimes, she offers it to people. Sometimes, she doesn’t. The reason why she does this is to show off the scrumptious fruit that her garden produces. Isabelle

Alta Mother’s Revenge (19 th Century) Jose P. Rizal Although she is not a human, she most definitely stands out as an exceptional woman. Her strong, motherly instincts make give her the bravery she needs for her and her child. She also loves dental treats.

Masuso Pots An honorable mention is the Masuso Pot; the pot of life-giving water that brought health and hydration to the people.

La Bulaqueña (1895) Juan Luna Nobody is actually sure of who she is as she answers to many names. If you call out “Maria”, she is a revolutionary woman (pun intended). Some say she is the woman whom a famous painter escorted after his wife’s death and others say she goes by the name Emilia. Maria

Portrait of a Lady (1890) Juan Luna Quite the scandal, one must say. Paz Pardo de Tavera carries a curse upon her eternally tainted reputation. As you can see, the slip has indeed slipped, the rosary is out, and shes ready to bring upon misfortune to anyone who comes for her. But behind this curse, there lies a story of a crime of passion. Paz

Angelus (Oracion) (1959) Fernando Amorsolo Angela was forced to move out of her beloved abode in suburbs to follow her husband’s dreams of working in the field. So, there she sat, tired and weary from the child she had recently bore and the constant anxiety that she receives from the thought of her husband finding out that she is, in fact, unhappy. But she loves him. So, it’s okay. I guess. Angela

The Rape and Massacre in Ermita (1947) Diosdado. M Lorenzo Irma is a strong, independent woman, who doesn’t need a man meddling around in her successful life. She strives hard to protect herself and her infant son from demonic men who barge through their doors. Her favorite weapon of choice: the kitchen knife she was using to cut the carrots for the Caldereta.

Thank you.
