As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, Ayala Museum, with the gracious support of Wilcon Depot, proudly presents Dambana ng Kapwa: Indigenous Spirituality as Resistance from Colonialism, an exhibition featuring works by Nueva Ecija-based visual artist Joshua Limon Palisoc. It is part of the museum’s public art program, OpenSpace, which began in 2015.
This installation is a tapestry of animist, Hindu, Roman and folk Catholic spiritual symbols that highlights the interplay between foreign and indigenous cultures and creates a narrative of survival and resistance. Each sculpture is made of stainless-steel wire frames encasing light-emitting diodes. The open-work removes the wall between labas and loob, the object and the viewer.
The exhibition is grounded on the Filipino concept of kapwa, a state of shared existence and interconnectedness and treating another person as an extension of oneself. “This return to Filipino spirituality reclaims our deep-rooted cultural identity that fosters community, ecology, and authentic identity,” says Palisoc.
The installation is set up like a dambana, a sacred space where the spiritual and material worlds intersect. The oval shape of the dambana references the balangay, a water vessel associated to indigenous cosmology, trade and warfare. Small white stones surround the sculptures to emulate atang, traditional ritual rice offerings made to nature spirits and ancestors.
The artist acknowledges that, although his art is initially shaped by personal experience, his struggles and desires are shared by many Filipinos. Dambana ng Kapwa offers “a communal space for reflection, reclamation and healing.”
The dambana focuses on three major planes of existence—natural, social, and individual— each one represented by a pair of diwatas. The illumination is inspired from the ancient myth of Barangaw, the Visayan war god of the rainbow, and the Buddhist concept of chakra— specific areas of the body which are sources of psychic energies—by assigning each sculpture to a specific predominant color.
There’s magic to Christmas in the Philippines that you won’t find anywhere else. When the “-ber” months roll in, so much joy and excitement fill the air. The country turns more festive, overflowing with warmth, generosity, hope and celebration. This year, celebrate A Perfect Christmas at Robinsons Malls, where the holiday magic, unforgettable moments, and utmost convenience come together.

The show will be the first original story of Viu and ABS-CBN’s Dreamscape Entertainment after previously partnering to produce adaptations. It features rising stars like Belle, who is known for her versatile roles in He’s Into Her and Can’t Buy Me Love, alongside her love team partner, Donny.

Phantom Siita, Japanese 5-piece idol group known for their retro-horror concept produced by iconic singer and superstar Ado, is excited to announce their world tour Phantom Siita 1st World Tour ‘Moth to a flame,’ just over six months after their debut. The big announcement was revealed on the stage of legendary Nippon Budokan today during their solo concert Phantom Siita 1st LIVE 2024 ‘Haine.’ ‘Moth to a flame’ tour, the group’s first-ever tour (and a world tour!), will kick off in Taipei in January 2025 and spans 15 cities, marking it as a large-scale world tour for a new idol group. Phantom Siita’s leap onto the world stage—just two and a half months after releasing their debut album, “Girlhood Memories”—is definitely a must see.
Promoted by AEG Presents Asia and Ovation Productions, Phantom Siita 1ST WORLD TOUR ‘Moth to a flame’ in Manila will be held on 18 January 2025 (Saturday) at Samsung Hall, SM Aura.
Tickets available for purchase starting 8 November 2024 (Friday), 10AM PHT. More ticketing information can be found on smtickets.com.
“Our first world tour ‘Moth to a flame’ has been announced. While this is a venture into the unknown for us, we hope to reach everyone around the world who always supports us. We’re excited to showcase our ‘retro horror’ style to you all.” (Phantom Siita)
“Phantom Siita’s 1st world tour has been announced. I think it’s quite rare for a group’s first tour to be a world tour, both as idols and as artists. Please look forward to their bold and unconventional beginning of their artistry.” (Ado)
The tour title “Moth to a flame” symbolizes the fans who are irresistibly drawn to Phantom Siita. Although some may consider it risky for the group to take on the world stage less than a year after their debut, the title reflects the idea that, even knowing of the potential risks, fans are still drawn to Phantom Siita, like moths to a flame.

About Phantom Siita
Phantom Siita is a 5-piece idol group produced by a Japanese superstar Ado. If modern-day idols were ‘butterflies,’ Phantom Siita would be a heretical presence in the industry akin to ‘moths.’ 5 members (Mona, Miu, Rinka, Hisui, and Moka) won their spots in the group through an audition with over 4,000 participants. Their debut single “Otomodachi”was featured on Spotify’s “Idol Pop Japan” playlist cover and sparked a trend on TikTok, with many dance videos being uploaded. The music video of their 2nd single“Just Wanna ×××× With You,”released in July 2024, surpassed 1 million views in less than a month with many comments from international fans. Phantom Siita also appeared as the opening act for Ado’s nationwide arena tour Ado JAPAN TOUR 2024 ‘Profile of Mona Lisa’ this summer, performing in front of huge crowd at arenas in major Japanese cities. On Nov. 1, they held their first solo concert, Phantom Siita 1st LIVE 2024 ‘Haine’ at the legendary Nippon Budokan.
Our first world tour, “Moth to a flame,” has been announced. While this is a venture into the unknown for us, we hope to reach everyone around the world who always supports us. We’re excited to showcase our ‘retro horror’ style to you all.
About the Producer Ado
A 22-year-old Utaite, Ado, became a mainstream name through her 2020 major label debut “Usseewa,” which sparked a social phenomenon. Ado’s first album “Kyougen” and the songtrack album “UTA’S SONGS ONE PIECE FILM RED,” featuring all seven songs she sang for the movie “ONE PIECE FILM RED,” have both dominated the charts and become long-lasting hits. She started her first world tour, Ado FIRST WORLD TOUR “Wish” in February 2024, and in April 2024, and she performed a two-day live concert, Ado SPECIAL LIVE 2024 “Shinzou,” making her the first female solo artist to ever hold a show at the Japan National Stadium. Her 2nd Original Album ”Zanmu” released on July 10th, and on October 24th, she released her first CD single “Sakura Biyori and Time Machine/ Shoka”.
Phantom Siita’s 1st world tour has been announced. I think it’s quite rare for a group’s first tour to be a world tour, both as idols and as artists. The title, “Moth to a flame,” is the English equivalent of the Japanese saying “飛んで火に入る夏の虫” (like a moth to a flame). Some might draw a parallel between its meaning of knowingly stepping into danger and the group’s current situation, but Phantom Siita is the kind of true idol group that fans can’t help but reach out to, even knowing the risks. So perhaps the one flying into the flame is you, watching from the other side of the screen. Please look forward to their bold and unconventional beginning of their artistry.
