| Happy 50th Birthday Lopez Museum |
|
TURNING 50 is always a big deal, and it is no less true for the Lopez Museum, founded on Feb. 13, 1960 by Eugenio H. Lopez Sr. to honor his parents Benito and Presentacion. The milestone merited a celebration befitting an institution that has, in the words of museum director Cedie Lopez-Vargas, "contributed so much to the development and furthering of Filipino culture and heritage." Do take the time to view the After the Fact exhibit at the museum, featuring the works of Antipas Delotavo, Imelda Cajipe-Endaya, Keith Sicat and Gaston Damag, and to check out the commemorative book "Unfolding" for a closer and more intimate look at one of Eugenio Sr.'s pet undertakings.
Another notable milestone is the 80th birthday of Lopez Group chairman Oscar M. Lopez (OML) on April 19. Next issue we'll find out what makes our chief keep going, as well as his hopes and plans for the Group. In the meantime, mark your calendar for the matinee and evening show of "Undaunted," the much awaited musical that delves into the colorful history of the Lopez Group and its movers and shakers. The end of the first quarter of the year heralds a sea change in that the kids are on vacation from school, and the temperature starts sizzling past the mid-30s-not always the most relaxing of combinations for many parents out there. Worse, this early, the El Niño phenomenon is already making its presence felt as farmlands and water reservoirs all over the country start drying up; some provinces in Luzon have already been placed under a state of calamity and losses in agriculture are expected to eventually reach hundreds of millions. Temperatures may even go as high as 40 degrees! For those living in urban areas, the immediate concern is saving water. With hydroelectric facilities and thus, power supply also affected by El Niño however, home conservation efforts should also focus on the judicious use of electricity. Practice by turning off lights for one hour on March 27. And lastly, plan your Holy Week with Griffin Sierra travel recommendationson this page.
