At the Mangrove Café, for which a new generation of chefs has curated a Filipino menu for the visitors of the Philippine Pavilion at the ongoing World Expo 2020 in Dubai, I asked a young Filipino waiter, “So how do you find our pavilion?” READ:
The Philippine Pavilion, curated by Marian Pastor Roces and brought to form by architect Royal L. Pineda, is organically shaped like the coral reefs, evocative of openness, permeability, and connectivity. The structure, like reefs, appears to move beneath the waters on which our 7,641 islands float, the waters that at once divide and connect us not only to each other, but also to the larger world.
In the newsletter published by the organizing committee behind our pavilion, it is said that “Neolithic Austronesians, who arrived in Batanes 4,000 years ago, blended with peoples who have been in the Philippines for 65,000 years.” From these new settlers, we developed all of our many Filipino tongues, as these Austronesian-speaking peoples moved “from Batanes to the whole of the Philippines, eastward to Indonesia and Polynesia, and westward to Madagascar.
The musical suite accompanies the visitor through every expression in the exposition that’s created to reveal a facet of Filipino identity, from Dan Raralio’s, a whimsical sculpture described as suspended “between the primordial and the yet-to-come,” to sculptor Lee Paje’s, an upside down forest reminiscent of pop-up children’s books, featuring mesmerizing photographs of Philippine marine life by Scott Tuason and bird life by Ivan Sarenas.
