"Edible Flora: Botanical Art Exhibition"
2025-05-19 08:00 - 2025-05-30 17:00 UTC
A FEAST FOR THE EYES AND APPETITE! 🍽️🌺

Flores de Mayo is still underway, and the UP Manila Museum of a History of Ideas is delighted to invite everyone to visit and view its latest temporary exhibit, “Edible Flora,” from May 19 to 30, 2025.

The curatorial concept stems from the increasing gastronomic popularity of flowers. Not only do they make beautiful ornaments, but they also provide health and nutritional benefits. For instance, the pansit-pansitan or ulasimang bato (Peperomia pellucida) has been developed into a gout medication by UP Manila researchers. Meanwhile, the katmon fruit (Dillenia philippinensis) can be used as a souring agent for dishes such as sinigang.

Curated by Dr. Honey Libertine Achanzar-Labor, Special Assistant to the Chancellor, the exhibit features 32 paintings of edible flora by members of the Philippine Botanical Art Society (PhilBAS). The group was founded by UPM BA Philippine Arts alumna, Ms. Bing Famoso, with the mission to revive the botanical art style and to advocate for the conservation of our nation’s endemic plants.
Visit the UPM-MHI now, and perhaps you’ll try these flora for your next meal!

"The Challenges and Promises of Governance in the Philippines, 1912-1925"
2025-05-22 13:30 - 15:00
The UP Department of History invites everyone to attend the lecture of Dr. Shelton Woods titled “The Challenges and Promises of Governance in the Philippines, 1912-1925”.

📅 Date: May 22, 2025 (Thursday), 1:30 PM PST
📍 Venue: Silid Balatik, Pavilion 2, Palma Hall, University of the Philippines Diliman

📝 Abstract:
Between 1912 and 1920, Manila witnessed a radical shift in Philippine-American relations. For the first time in Philippine-American affairs, a Democrat sat in America’s oval office. This led to the establishment of the Philippine Senate and the political triumvirate of Sergio Osmeña, Manuel Quezon, and Francis Burton Harrison. The experiment of joint rule came to an end with the 1921 Wood-Forbes Mission, and the subsequent dysfunctional relationship between Senator Quezon and Governor General Leonard Wood. Their final showdown centered on the peoples of Luzon’s Cordillera mountains and the obscure but heroic figure of John Chrysostom Early.

👤 About the Author:
Dr. Shelton Woods earned his PhD in Southeast Asian History from UCLA. He is the Distinguished Professor of Southeast Asian History and Associate Dean at Boise State University. The author of seven books, his latest work is Governor of the Cordillera: John Early and the Philippine Highlanders (Cornell University Press and Ateneo University Press). Born in Manila, Dr. Woods spent his first eighteen years in the city of Baguio. (sheltonwoods.com)
