Simbalay

May 20, 2008

by Jade Pangilinan

In their continuing pursuit of keeping art alive, the Art Association of Bacolod – Negros is set to stage another remarkable exhibit on May 20 to June 10. This time around, top Negrense artists pay homage to the San Sebastian Cathedral as the Diocese of Bacolod celebrates its 75th anniversary.

The art exhibit is dubbed “Simbalay: House of God, Home of the Poor”. Simbalay is a combination of two Visayan words, “simba” which means going to church, and “balay” which means home. Aptly put, this reinforces the identity of the Bacolod Diocese, upon the advent of Vatican II, as the seedbed of the Church of the Poor in the Philippines.
