State of Your Liberty by Leslie de Chavez

How well do you know your art—and the Filipino language? To celebrate Buwan ng Wika, images were posted on the LopezLink Facebook page relating to the Complicated exhibit together with a word or phrase that the community members were invited to translate.

Over a total of five days, random prize drawings were held with all correct and complete answers, meaning they had to have the contest’s #LinggoNgWika hashtag. One winner per day received an exclusive Lopez Museum tumbler.

Contest winner Jonathan SalazarOn July 30, Day 1 of the contest, Jonathan Salazar correctly translated “$4 4k1n6 m64 k ~b+4” (“Sa aking mga kabata”) to grab the first Lopez Museum tumbler up for grabs. Joining the winners’ circle were Elsie Sulapas, who submitted “kahinahunan” as the translation of “quiescence” on July 31; Vhince Dinglasan (“paglagom” for “assimilation”) on August 1; and Ana Macabutas (“kalayaan” for “liberty”) on August 4.

Community members may visit LopezLink at http://lopezlink. ph/ or on Facebook to find out who the lucky Day 5 winner is.
