The year is coming to a close and no community was spared by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but artists in Iloilo City have managed to transform collective experience with street art.
Across SM City Iloilo, artists collectively known as Baysulangpu (an anagram for the Hiligaynon word of pula nga subay or red ants) painted a 100-meter mural to look back at the year that was.

“It’s our life from Monday to Sunday as Covid-19 refuses to disappear,” says Arnold Almacen, one of the other artists and also a photojournalist.
