MANILA — Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista has signed an ordinance authorizing the creation of Fernando C. Amorsolo Senior High School.
City Ordinance 2656-2018 states that the Local School Board has recommended to name the Senior High School within M. H. del Pilar Elementary School compound in Barangay Kamuning after Fernando C. Amorsolo.
“In honor of his legacy, the senior high school to be established at Barangay Kamuning, shall be named as Fernando C. Amorsolo Senior High School,” the ordinance read.
The ordinance was introduced by City Councilor Julienne Alyson Rae V. Medalla.
Amorsolo, also known as the “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art” and is famous for his craftsmanship and mastery in the use of natural light, is the first National Artist of the country.
Amorsolo is also popular for developing the backlighting technique that became his artistic trademark and greatest contribution to Philippine art.
