In behalf of Hugis at Hibu Aurora Artists Society, the Officers and Members, would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Mayor Rhett Angara of Baler and Mayor Ariel de Jesus of San Luis, for their unwavering support ever since that our group planned to participate in every competition, they are always willing and extend their undeniable support. Our group as of now, reached ambiguous status to pe*****te national competition although we did not achieved the highest award, as we aimed to reach our goal, we strongly believe that our local leaders are always there to pursue and support our dreams, to promote and preserve the unique history, arts and culture of Aurora to the national and international arena of the world of arts. MARAMING SALAMAT PO!

This is my entry to ADF- AAP National Art Competition entitled: "Year 2025: The Sinking Ship", oil on canvas, 2x3 ft. Sa aking sariling opinion, dumaranas Ang bansa natin Ng matinding problema, masyadong malawak Ang syndicated corruption, na naglulugmok sa political, social at economic stability Ng buong bansa. Sa artwork na ito, inihalintulad ko Ang bansa natin na unti- hunting lumulubog at ramdam ito Ng bawat Pilipino lalo't higit Ang mahihirap. Hindi na kinakailangan Ang detalyadong pagpapaliwanag, ngunit bilang Isang artist, ito ay pagpapahiwatig Ng Isang pananaw na bukas o makalawa ay maaaring maganap Ang paglubog Ng ating bansa. Kung sakali, na makabawi Ang ating pamahalaan, naway Ang ginawa Kong ito ay magsilbing paala ALA sa mga susunod na manunungkulan na Ang katapatan sa panunungkulan ay Hindi magiging dahilan upang lumubog Ang ating bansa, at naway matuto Tayo sa kasaysayan. GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES.
