Globe, in partnership with Provenance Art Gallery, held a private art vernissage and silent auction on June 5 at the Power Plant Mall in Rockwell. The event brought together leaders in art, advocacy, and business in support of the Hapag Movement, a Globe-led initiative addressing involuntary hunger in the Philippines.
The exclusive gathering featured a curated collection of works by Filipino artists Andres Barrioquinto, Jayson Cortez, Max Balatbat, Martin Honasan, Jason Montinola, and Raffy Napay. Guests were given a private preview of the exhibit ahead of its public opening, along with a curator talk by Stephanie Frondoso, light fare from Cibo, and personalized Globe giveaways.
The auction ran until June 7. Half of all proceeds were allocated to the Hapag Movement, which provides sustainable feeding and livelihood training to vulnerable families. The remaining 50 percent directly supported the participating artists, underscoring Globe’s commitment to both social impact and the local creative economy.
Barrioquinto created the auctioned artwork. Known for his surreal and hyperrealistic portraits, he combines elements of nature, pop culture, and Asian aesthetics. Drawing from Japanese ukiyo-e and Baroque art, he constructs layered pieces using oil and acrylic on canvas. His contributions have been recognized with the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen Artists Award, and his works are part of major collections across Asia.
“This is more than a showcase of art, it is a statement of purpose,” said Roche Vandenberghe, Globe chief marketing officer. “We are deeply grateful to our customers and partners who helped transform an evening of cultural appreciation into meaningful support for communities experiencing hunger.”
The exhibit remains open to the public until August.
The collaboration is part of Globe’s ongoing effort to create impactful, human-centered experiences for its customers while advancing its core advocacies through the Hapag Movement.
