00:00Well, after my divorce, I decided to move to Baguio.
00:06And it so happened that during that time, we have people, friends and artists living
00:13there.
00:14Somehow we got together and create Baguio Arts Guild, and that became an example of
00:20a community full of artists and doing things like installations, performance, paintings.
00:29That was fun.
00:31That was really good to start with.
00:35When I decided to move to the Philippines, I decided to move to Baguio because I liked
00:40the weather to begin with.
00:42And Baguio is quite rich in terms of culturally, the Cordillera, which I think is underrated.
00:51When it comes to tribal art, people think of Africa, but we have such a rich culture
00:58in terms of having those bululs and other things.
