A tribute to our National Artists

Doña Aurora Street Murals is one of a kind art gallery in the country.  It's a free art gallery on the street, open 24 hours a day.  A tribute to the national artists, Carlos "Botong" V. Francisco for arts, and Lucio D. San Pedro for music.

The art murals are all copied from the works of Botong Francisco and the widely acclaimed lullaby "Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan" of Lucio San Pedro are all sculpted on the street.  To locals, it was just an ordinary wall, I think they're just used to it.  But to us, they were amazing.  If only it was not to sunny when we visit the place, we would have taken more photos of it.  But we still took a few.

At the end of the street murals you'll see Lucio San Pedro's famous "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan".

And of course before we leave Doña Aurora, it was a need to have a picture with at least one of the art sculptures (in the heat of the sun).  Hehe!

How to get there


By Private vehicle
From EDSA, drive through Ortigas Ext. road passing by KayTikling.  Turn right passing by the town of Taytay until you reach the Y junction, pass by the road on the right.  That will let you pass the town of Angono.  Doña Aurora Street of Barangay Itaas is at your right, a few meters after the Municipal hall.

By Public Transportation
From EDSA-Crossing, take the Angono bound FX or jeepneys.  If you take other transportation that will pass by the town of Angono, make sure that they will pass the town proper.  Ask the driver to drop you off at Doña Aurora Street of Barangay Itaas.  That's a few meters after the Municipal hall.
