Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar Bagac Bataan March 2010
Casa Hidalgo originally stood on the corner of Calle San Sebastian (now R. Hidalgo St.) and Callejon Carcer in Quiapo, Manila. It was built in 1867 for for the family of Rafael Enriquez and was design by Felix Roxas y Arroyo, the first Filipino to practice architecture in the Philippines.
It later became the first campus of the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts with Enriquez himself serving as director from 1909 to 1926. In 1927, however, UP relocated its operations to Padre Faura. After that, he house underwent a number of repairs and re-purposing. It became a bowling alley, a boys-and-girls dormitory, and even a venue for live sex shows. This and poor maintenance led to the house's eventual decay.
Casa Hidalgo was transferred to Las Casas in 2006. There it stands with regained dignity with its original UP still proudly displayed on its facade.

Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo’s seascape echoes the artist’s fascination with the violence of the sea. This work of Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo utilizes not only the painterly quality of oil, but also the singular movement of brushstrokes to create motion. Just like his famous work “La Barca de Aqueronte”, which exemplifies this through the sway and churn of water and whitewater bubbling around a mournful boatman, this seascape depicts foul weather, but not too gloomy for the viewer to see the lusty poetry in all that sea green tempest and hard driving, albeit invisible, wind driving the waves against a high craggy promontory in the background, which is painted sans distinct details.
The relationship of light and dark areas, the contrasts of movement, are largely responsible for the expressive power of the stormy shore. Hidalgo may have been a romantic but, he was also a realist in basing his art upon experiences directly perceived in nature.
The fluidity of the sea, whose color, light, and atmosphere changes from one moment to the next, was a ready equivalent of the flickering reveries of Hidalgo’s brush.
Hidalgo painted this monumental sea scene with the color effects boldly and facilely applied. In terms of quality and invention,Hidalgo’s achievements as a painter are unparalleled, and while Juan Luna is arguably the more famous of the two, some artcritics consider Hidalgo the more superior painter.
In principle, Hidalgo’s seascape combines the strengths of both Luminism and Impressionism, even if he adheres to neither.His dramatic, even impressionistic skies amid waves in some instances diverge from the becalmed seas of late 19th century painting, manifested best in the luminist style in the United States — which he never visited.
Luminism is characterizedby attention to detail and the hiding of brushstrokes, while impressionism is characterized by lack of detail and an emphasison brushstrokes.
Having taken up painting at the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura in Intramuros early in his career, he remaineda classicist, preferring to work in the style recognized by the art Establishment, despite the furor over the Impressionists in the Europe of 1884. Thus, Hidalgo’s depictions of the stormy sea mark one significant extreme of the vast range of Philippine art’s landscape traditions.

The winery was founded in 2006 by the Garcia Hidalgo family and is situated in the beautiful Guadalcobacin valley, named after the river. The river naturally irrigates the orchards of Arriate and Ronda and provides the home to the area’s wine Alcobazin. The winery operated by owner and oenologist Miguel Garcia Pereila and wife Maria Isabel. They developed traditional methods and skills and following very natural processes that has gained them official Ecological Cultivating certificate status. Their wine production is voluntarily reduced to focus on achieving quality over quantity and to also obtain strong wines in all aspects of color, body and taste.
The tour included an excellent lunch with three wines. They did not serve a white wine, substituting another red, because they didn’t think it was up to quality standards.
