Dinggot Prieto and Palawan’s Giant Christmas Tree


Maria Teodora Conde-Prieto, also known as Dinggot Prieto, is the artist behind the giant Christmas tree that was raised in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Prieto, who majored in comparative literature, and philosophy back in college, was a self taught artist. Although she was not able to get a formal training, painting and art is her passion.

Dinggot Prieto was born and raised in Baguio City, but her mother was a native of Puerto Princesa. Prieto went back to her roots when she decided to migrate back to Palawan in 1990. This act also resulted for Prieto to pursue her art by establishing a cafe-gallery and repository for arts and culture in Puerto Princesa in 1994 called Kamarikutan.

Prieto worked with the national Commission for Culture and the Arts from 2002 to 2008. She was also a member of the executive committee for visual arts. She also joined the provincial government of Palawan as program director for culture and arts, and established the Palawan Culture and Arts Guild together with Governor Joel Reyes. READ MORE..

Filipino Achiever: Angelo Ortiz, World Class Pianist


Angelo Ortiz is what you can say, your typical neighborhood kid. But hanging out with his cousin during one summer time, had brought a remarkable change in his life.

Curious with his cousin’s organ lessons, Angelo then asked for a piano from his parents persistently, but received a toy piano instead from ‘Santa Claus’. Surprisingly, he was able to play music with the toy piano without any guidance or assistance. Seeing the potential and interest, Angelo’s parents then bought him a real piano that started his formal piano lessons. At his young age, the piano teacher was able to see the potential and the talent that she advised Angelo’s parents to pursue the training, and he never stopped playing since then. READ MORE...
