    Last February 16, 2018, the National Artist for Sculpture, Napoleón Isabelo “Billy” Veloso Abueva (1930-2018), passed away after battling the effects of a stroke for 10 years.  And on the 24th of February, we all gave our fond farewells to the master at the Tanghalan Nicanor Abelardo, the main theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). After the tribute ceremonies, Abueva’s remains  was then transferred by members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to its final resting place at the Libingan ng mga Bayani(Cemetery of the Heroes).

    The whole ceremony was fitting of the man whose life was dedicated to creating art, and uplifting the state of art in the Philippines. At the commencement of the rite, Abueva’s coffin was placed on the stage, hidden by the grand tapestry of his contemporary, Hernando Ruiz Ocampo (1911-1978), entitled “Genesis”. Likening to the hand of God, amidst the fires of creation, Abueva’s works broke the barriers
