Celebrating 12 Years of OLED Excellence, LG Showcases “Fragments” by Isaiah Cacnio at the National Museum of Natural History

LG pays homage to the 127th Philippine Independence Day and launches the next generation of OLED and QNED TVs with Affectionate Intelligence, partnering with Isaiah Cacnio for a groundbreaking digital art exhibit that brings the nation’s rich culture, heritage, and biodiversity to life

LG Philippines brought together art, technology, and heritage at the National Museum of Natural History through a special partnership that exemplifies the beauty and diversity of Philippine geography and identity. The centerpiece of the event was “Fragments”, a solo art exhibition created in collaboration with Isaiah Cacnio, the first digital and motion graphics artist to be featured at the National Museum.

This immersive exhibit harnesses cutting-edge LG OLED display technology to reinterpret the Earth’s story, shining a spotlight on the extraordinary geological and ecological richness of the Philippines. From volcanic beginnings to weathered stone and flowing water, the exhibit captures the powerful natural forces that have shaped both the physical landscape and the spirit of the Filipino people.

Running for an entire month, the exhibit invites visitors to the Ayala Reception Hall on the second floor of the National Museum of Natural History to explore the nation's rich biological history through three captivating digital pieces: “Where Fire Begins,” “Stories in Stone,” and “What Breaks, Flows”, all brought to life by LG OLED AI TVs. These works were created using mathematical formulas to generate organic, dynamic visuals—blending algorithmic precision with emotional depth. By integrating computational methods with artistic expression, the exhibit seamlessly combines art, science, and emotion to reflect the Philippines' geological and cultural evolution. As Cacnio explains, “Even in fracture, there is flow. Even in separation, there is connection.” His work reminds us that, just as nature molds the Earth, shared history and resilience continue to shape our identity as a people.

Cacnio also reflects on his milestone, saying, “It’s a great honor to be one of the few artists to use LG OLED for art, joining global artists like Refik Anadol, Steve Harrington, and many others.” Through LGOLEDArt.com, LG continues to support digital creators worldwide by offering OLED as a canvas for artistic expression, ushering in a new era of immersive media art. “New media and digital art are growing internationally, and I’m proud to be the first artist from the Philippines to take part in this movement,” he adds.


LG StanbyME


Following the unveiling of these innovative digital art pieces, LG reaffirmed its steady commitment to the preservation and celebration of Filipino culture through a donation of over ₱500,000 worth of display technology, ranging from TVs, including LG StanbyME units, and monitors, to the National Museum of Natural History. With the installation of LG’s latest displays, the museum now offers a more immersive and dynamic way for visitors to engage with its galleries, blending cutting-edge technology with the Philippines’ vibrant culture and natural history.

He also noted that these new technologies will transform the visitor experience across the museum’s network, shifting from static displays to immersive storytelling and from passive learning to active exploration. “At the core of our work here at the National Museum is the desire to connect—to bring people closer to their heritage, to foster understanding, and of course, to inspire curiosity,” Barns said. “When thoughtfully integrated, technology becomes an instrument through which these goals can be achieved more effectively and with greater reach. We are grateful to LG Philippines not only for the material support but for sharing in our belief that innovation must serve education, access, and cultural preservation. Your partnership with us affirms that the museum experience is continually enhanced and enriched by the tools and technologies of our time.” The donation will expand the museum’s ability to deliver public programs that are more inclusive, engaging, and meaningful to a broader audience.

The Faces Behind the Fight: Portraits That Speak Louder Than Policy

 More than just rainbow flags and festive marches, Pride Month in the Philippines is a tradition of protest and a triumph of resilience.

The SOGIESC Bill has been sitting in legislative limbo for years, and that silence… it speaks volumes. And yet, on June 17, 2025, a group dared to respond loudly—with images, with dignity, with truth. Verde Creatives, on their 8th anniversary, unveiled a photo campaign that refuses to whisper. It stares you straight in the eye and asks: Are you really listening?



The campaign is called “EQUALITY CHAMPIONS: Magandang Laban.” And what a beautiful fight it is.

As a mom, I’ve always believed that we raise our children not only with love but with examples. And this campaign? This is the kind of example I want them to grow up with—one that shows that bravery can be quiet and graceful, loud and proud, and sometimes, all of that at once.

These aren’t just portraits. These are people putting on brave faces—not to hide, but to confront. They stare into the lens the way so many of our children wish they could look into society: without shame, without fear, and with the hope of being accepted for who they are.

Led by Ms. Bemz Benedito, the first transgender woman to be a congressional nominee and Chair of Ladlad Partylist, this campaign goes beyond beauty. It’s political, it’s personal, and it’s necessary. She said something that pierced right through me:




“Each photograph tells a story of courage, resilience, and the unwavering demand for dignity.”

Isn’t that what every mother wants for her child? To be treated with dignity? To feel seen and safe?

The campaign, supported by groups like STRAPTAO, and even government allies like the LGBTQIA+ unit of LTFRB, proves that this fight is not one-sided. Beauty queen and national adviser Maria Barbie Anne Arcache, whose image also appears in the series, reminded us that allyship isn’t a side note—it’s a pillar. It tells our LGBTQIA+ youth: You’re not alone.





As I scroll through the portraits, I don’t just see faces—I see stories. A student who’s afraid to come out at home. A trans woman who’s survived a decade of discrimination. A government worker who simply wants to be respected for doing their job, regardless of their gender identity.

And in each frame, I see my child.

I may not know who my kids will become or who they’ll love. But I do know this: I want them to grow up in a Philippines where they’re free to be exactly who they are—and where their classmates, friends, and future families can say the same.

The SOGIESC Bill won’t take anyone’s rights away. It simply gives everyone a chance to live with the same safety, respect, and freedom most of us already enjoy. Equality isn’t a pie. Giving others more doesn’t mean you get less.

So, from one mom to another:
Let’s open our eyes. Let’s open our hearts.
Because when we protect every child, not just our own, we’re building the kind of future every mother prays for.

This is our Magandang Laban. A beautiful fight. A mother’s fight. And I’m standing for it.
