Maysia Day 4: Traditions 👵 I think my favorite Filipino tradition is the "mano" or "pagmamano". It is a "honoring gesture" or a sign of respect for older people. It's performed by taking an elder's hand and pressing it to our forehead. #artph #maysia #AAPIHeritageMonth

Maysia Day 14: Fantasy This is Mayari, the Goddess of Combat, War, and Moon. She is known as the most beautiful deity in Filipino Mythology. She lost one of her eyes due to a fight with her brother Apolaki, the God of Sun and War #artph #maysia

Maysia Day 11: Traditional Food Halo-halo!! Bc I'm craving for something sweet and cold. 🍧Halo-halo means "mixed", and it is a Filipino dessert made up of crushed ice, milk and others like ube, cornflakes, gulaman, flan, ice-cream etc! #maysia #artph

Maysia Day 15: Landscape I have no idea how to draw landscapes, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to draw the place where my family loves to rewind. This is Sirao Garden, Cebu's Little Amsterdam! 🌻🌷 #artph #maysia

Maysia Day 12: Wedding Weddings in the Philippines usually involve these objects. Each element has symbolism behind it. Candles mean "lighting up each other's worlds". Arras (coins) represents groom's promise to provide for the family. Cord is for unity. #artph #maysia
