Mendoza (Sym), Romulo Galicano, and the group PASPI, founded by Galicano in Cebu in 2010. Tracing their roots to the Dimasalang Group, of which SYM and Galicano were both part of, the book focuses on the revival of traditional figurative painting, which was epitomized by the classical school of Fernando Amorsolo.
