PhiloFlora Exhibition 2 was officially launched on June 11 at Istorya Forest Garden in the town of Panay. I love this hideaway, just 15 minutes away from Roxas City, with its lush forest, colonial-era-inspired architecture, and the laidback feel complimented by the sumptuous food on irs menu. The cool shades underneath the trees with the background of giant, exotic flora offer a refreshing feel amidst the grilling noontime heat now that early summer has come.
In this initiative the medical artist-doctors take the essence of being a plant parent to the next level: awareness of the medicinal properties of plants and understanding of the balance between plants, modern medicine and the ecosystem.
The first leg of the exhibit was held last April at Ang Panublion Museum in Roxas City. This month, the exhibit was hosted by Istorya Forest Garden in the nearby town of Panay, the exhibition installed in partnership with the museum.
