A portrait celebrating the legacy of Gina Lopez

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bantay Bata 163, a portrait of Gina Lopez was unveiled at the Gina Lopez Building located in the ABS-CBN compound. Present during the unveiling were Ernie Lopez, Roberta Lopez – Feliciano, Jonathan Manalo, and artist Kristine Lim. 

Entitled Touch The Sky, the portrait was donated by ABS-CBN Fellowship members, with the cooperation of Art Lounge Manila, to ABS-CBN Foundation, and to Bantay Bata 163. The fellowship members present during the event were Linggit Tan Marasigan, Lita Teodosio, and Dyan Castillejo-Garcia who served as the host during the anniversary celebration.

According to “Artist on a Mission” Kristine Lim, it’s the first time that she made a portrait not using the name of the person as the title. 

“I felt that it was not fitting for someone like Gina Lopez,” Lim said.

This is for the reason that she believed her legacy lies not in her name, or the foundations that she started, the company that she is connected with, or the family that she’s part of.

“I believe that the legacy of Gina Lopez lies in the lives of the people whom she was able to touch. Through her, a lot was able to feel that they can Touch The Sky. She was the kind of woman who was able to bring heaven on earth. She’s not just the kind of woman who did things in a good way. She did them in a godly way. Because of that, she was able to move and transform lives; and those lives are her true legacy,” the artist explained.
