This painting by Michael Albano offers a visual message that reflects the essence of Batang Pinangga: care for nature and the earth. It shows the gate of the children's home, which is not only a physical gateway, but also a symbolic entrance to a world where respect for nature is central. The painting depicts the earth, with the words "Make everyday earth day", reinforcing the idea that we should contribute to preserving our planet every day.
Batang Pinangga is a place where children not only find a safe haven, but also learn the importance of treating nature with care. In a world where this awareness is sometimes lost, this is where they learn the crucial importance of environmental awareness and sustainability. The painting captures this message perfectly, by presenting the earth as a central element and underlining the idea that we need to take responsibility for our planet not just on one day, but every day.
With this work, Michael Albano has not only created a visual portrait of Batang Pinangga, but also a call to raise awareness about the earth. The painting brings a piece of Batang Pinangga into our homes and reminds us that conservation is not a temporary task but a daily endeavour. It is a call to action, both locally and globally, and a reminder of the value of care and respect for the earth, something sometimes forgotten in other parts of the Philippines.
