About the Artwork

Goto Mo’ Ko’s Wall Mural is a digital artwork in collaboration with a renowned modern contemporary mural artist’ Robby Singh. This project was created to retell Manila’s glorious past, highlight its cultural heritage and icons, and showcasing its tourist attractions.

Those who work with their hands—such as muralists, and printmakers—are what we look for when we search for artists. according to Perry, “We enjoy discovering up-and-coming artists who share our passion, optimism, and creativity, as well as who have a unique viewpoint and sense of style. We want people to experience the essence of love that Goto Mo’ Ko has to offer through our partnership with these artists.”

Art is a powerful way to bring ideas come to life, and there’s no better way to do that than by providing opportunities for artists in our communities.

About the Logo

The Filipino Food Month logo portrays the essence of traditional Filipino cooking through the palayok icon. The palayok, an earthenware type of cooking vessel, communicates the customary Filipino culinary cuisines of our ancestors. To this day, some kinfolks still use the palayok when cooking recipes passed on through generations. The palayok exemplifies kulinaryang Filipino.

The three triangles underneath the palayok are the flames and they represent the Philippines’ three island groups of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao where a multitude of gastronomic fares originate and continue to live on to be enjoyed. The flames’ three colors are symbolic of the characteristics of alab (passion), sigasig (ardor) and liwanag (radiance).

The steam that emanates from the palayok comes in the form of the brand we celebrate, the Filipino Food Month, skewed 45 degrees to show an ascending motion indicative of pagsulong. The four colors represent inherent traits of Filipinos – pagdiriwang (celebratory), alab (passionate), sigasig (persevering) and pagbabago (innovative). The typography is selected to be simple so as not to compete with the other elements of the logo.

Filipino Food Month will be celebrated to promote, preserve, and ensure the transmission of vast culinary traditions and treasures to future generations, and to support and appreciate various industries, farmers, and agri-communities which benefit therefrom.
