In
August, Samsung and Yuchengco Museum launched Culture Connect: Castrillo @ 50,

appreciation for public art.

Instagram contest commemorates the works of nationalist Filipino sculptor,
Eduardo Castrillo, as he celebrates 50 years of being a professional artist. Known
as the monument maker, Castrillo created masterpieces such as Binhi ng mga Bayani found at Rizal Park,
and People Power located along EDSA,
which are vivid reflections of the Philippine history and culture.
