HATCH is an annual art initiative by Manila Bulletin that highlights local talent through painting on an unconventional canvas—an acrylic egg. This year’s showcase marks a special milestone in Manila Bulletin’s 125th anniversary celebration.
HATCH Emergence features a collection of one-of-a-kind artworks painted on acrylic eggs, curated to spotlight the dynamic landscape of Filipino street art. Each piece blends elements of pop culture, street narratives, and toy-inspired aesthetics. Together, they offer a fresh and playful take on Filipino creativity.
This year’s featured artists include an impressive roster of talents: Jade Suayan, Trip63, Creon Chkn, Blic, Exld Manila, Distort Monsters, Gerilya (Jano and Mar Gonzales), Wesley Valenzuela, Isobel Francisco, Lianne Steffi Lim, Reen Barrera, Egg Fiasco, and Quiccs.
“We are honored to provide a space where creativity can be seen, celebrated, and shared with the community,” said Marvin Kim Tan, vice president for sales and marketing of Manila Prince Hotel. “HATCH Emergence reflects our continued support for local talent and our commitment to offering cultural experiences to our guests.”
HATCH Emergence is installed at Manila Prince Hotel’s window display, offering free access to hotel guests and the general public. Admission is free. For inquiries, call +632 5328 2222 or email in**@**********ce.com.
