He is known for his abstract sculptures and installations made from metal and wood, and he also creates functional home pieces. You may have seen some of Jinggoy’s works at local galleries and during Manila FAME.

The week has been filled with good news from Filipino talents—Lav Diaz won in Venice and Brillante Mendoza’s going to the Oscars, and now Jinggoy. Congratulations!
