I learned last year 2009 that Angono, Rizal is considered to be the art capital of the Philippines, and I believe it big time as I saw this family museum created by the Blanco's, there are other family museums in the area and this Blanco Family museum is the first alternative space that we visited. The museum houses everything that the Blanco family painted, all of it are realistic art style created by the father Jose "Pitok" Blanco, his wife and children followed his foot steps and became the popular painter in Angono. Although that Pitok and his wife is gone,their sons and daughters continues the legacy and passes the artistic style in painting to the next generation of their blood line.
