Dateline: 24 February 2018, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Manila

I already had my cultural calendar laid out on this day. But had to change everything after I learned that the CCP will hold a necrology service for the late National Artist Napoleon V. Abueva, who passed away last 16 February at the age of 88. He is considered the "Father of Philippine Modern Sculpture," and he was the youngest person to be awarded the National Artist honor.
