In the Philippine Palimpsest, the “ Dios de salve Maria,” is written over with “Aba Ginoong Maria”, it’s Tagalog equivalent. Sometimes, words previously erased become visible again, revealing past secrets. Its title is the “Philippine Palimpsest.” According to Saul Hofilena, in the days past, in the Middle East and Europe, monastery scribes working in scriptoria occasionally scrape off words written on animal parchment inorder to use them again. The Cartas Philippinensis is the only playable deck of tarot cards with the Philippine themes.Īnother is a painting brilliantly conceived. The exhibit also shows the Cartas Philippinensis panel. What is amazing about the exhibit is that the original book written by William Dampier is also on exhibit together with an 18th century original print showing the inhabitants of the lost island. William Dampier wrote a detailed summary of where the island may be found east of Mindanao.Ĭarlos Quirino, a Philippine National Artist, declared that the island is actually Siargao while Federico Aguilar-Alcuaz, National Artist for Visual Arts, was determined to head an expedition tolook for the lost San Juan Island, the Philippine Altantis.

Winged angels take away the symbols of the Spanish empire - the Spanish colors, the n which is peculiar to the Spanish language, the Spanish sword,the esfera or orb and a treasure box containing the wealth extracted from the colony. “The Spanish Dirge,” which is painted in ancient wood, shows the end of the Spanish empire in the Islands.

Each is holding a devotional written in the dialect where the friar order held sway. The Cartas Phillipensis is history disguised as tarot and the paintings are visual records of our country’s past.Īn outstanding work is the “Readers of the Lost Words.” This oft photographed work during the exhibit shows the friars of the five religious orders that ruled the country with an iron cross during the Spanish period. They ask the viewer of the paintings to lookat and to read the paintings like miniature books because that is what they are, vignettes of the country’s history presented in allegory. In exchange, the missionaries of the faith defended the acts of the sovereign and impliedly recognized that the Spanish monarch possessed just the title to the colonies. The Royal Patronagewas an arrangement between the Spanish monarchy who accepted from the Holy See the responsibility of maintaining and propagating the Catholic faith. The majority of the paintings deal with the Patronato Real or the Royal Patronage.
