SAN FRANCISCO, USA \u2013 The Philippine Consulate General and Sentro Rizal San Francisco hosted the opening of the San Francisco leg of the Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> (As Told By the Waves) world tour on 9 August 2023 at the Philippine Center\u2019s Kalayaan Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> project is a collaboration between missionary visual artist Kristine Lim<\/a> and songwriter & record producer Jonathan Manalo, in which the former interprets the latter\u2019s songs as a series of artworks. Manalo wrote and composed the theme songs of ABS-CBN shows such as \u201cTara Tena,\u201d \u201cPinoy Big Brother,\u201d and \u201cFPJ\u2019s Ang Probinsiyano.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippine Consul General in San Francisco Neil Ferrer welcomed Lim to San Francisco, and expressed his gratitude for choosing San Francisco for the first and only U.S. stop of the Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> world tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Consul General Ferrer: \u201cAs you may glean later in Kristine\u2019s one-of-a-kind work, waves are the central imagery which ties the project together\u2026 The Philippines\u2019 7,641 islands are connected by waves, whose ebb and flow carry with it the hopes and dreams of Filipinos who traverse our seas. The same waves have also brought our people to lands far and wide\u2014including here in California, where Filipinos first arrived in continental United States in 1587.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThus, Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> is the story of the Filipino people, rendered in music and in visual art,\u201d Consul General Ferrer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thank Kristine for her generous donation of Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> artworks to the Consulate, in support of Philippine cultural diplomacy efforts in the Bay Area,\u201d Consul General Ferrer added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her part, Lim said that the Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> world tour is also about \u201cglobal Filipinos who are making waves around the world, and are contributing immensely in the countries where they have decided to live and work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the exhibition launch, the Consulate offered attendees a Philippine coffee tasting experience courtesy of Southern California-based, Filipino American-owned Teofilo Coffee Company<\/a>. This follows the recently concluded Philippine coffee tasting event at the Philippine Center<\/a> on 2 August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kuwento ng Alon<\/em> art exhibit, which features 12 15\u201dx15\u201d artworks from Ms. Lim, ran at the Philippine Center until 10 August 2023. Lim also joined the 30th<\/sup> Pistahan Festival\u2014one of the largest Philippine cultural events in the United States\u2014at the Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco on 12-13 August 2023, as one of the featured artists in the Arts Pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous stops of the Kuwento ng Alon <\/em>tour include: Sydney, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; Singapore; Beijing, China; and Ottawa, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lim is an award-winning visual artist with a mission to evangelize through her artworks as well as to champion sustainable living, edenic living, mental health wellness, and patriotism. She has done missionary and charity work, and has been spearheading art workshops to orphans and marginalized sectors of the community. END<\/p>\n\n\n\n
