Persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) received painting materials to help them spend their time productively under the Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program spearheaded by First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos on Tuesday.
“Paint not to earn money, but to express what is in your heart and soul,” said one of the painting tutors at a painting activity for persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) organized by the First Lady at the NBP in Muntinlupa City.
“When you paint with your heart, people will appreciate your work and you will eventually reap the benefits of your sacrifices,” the tutor added.
The First Lady joined painting activities with PDLs at the NBP’s Medium Security Camp through the Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program, which provides an opportunity for PDLs’ creative expression and meaningful interaction beyond their daily routines.
During the activity, the First Lady was joined by Associate Justice Karl Miranda and Bagong Buhay Group of Artists (BAGA) President Joey De Leon. The event highlighted the role of art in inmate reformation and personal growth and development.
In welcoming the First Lady at the painting session, Justice Miranda described her as “a patron of the arts and the silent champion of PDL reformation.”
“Hindi alam ng nakararami kung ano ang itinulong ng First Lady for PDL reformation,” said Miranda, noting the First Lady came to the NBP without being asked and bringing with her not only a few artists but hundreds of other volunteers or champions for PDLs.
Prominent Chinese painter and Harvard alumnus Liping Zheng whose art career and professional life have been deeply intertwined with the Philippines also joined the First Lady during the event. Liping Zheng has been conducting free art workshops for inmates.
Artists from Amadeo, Cavite, and Cebu also tutored the PDLs during Tuesday’s event.
Aside from painting lessons, the Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program, also featured a dermatological medical and wellness mission, providing healthcare services to PDLs. | PND

Nakatanggap ng mga painting material ang mga persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) sa New Bilibid Prison (NBP) upang maging produktibo ang kanilang oras sa ilalim ng Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program na pinangunahan ni First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos noong Martes.
“Magpinta hindi para kumita ng pera, kundi para ipahayag ang nasa inyong puso at kaluluwa,” sabi ng isa sa mga painting tutor sa aktibidad sa pagpipinta para sa mga persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) na inorganisa ng Unang Ginang sa NBP sa Muntinlupa City.
“Kapag nagpinta kayo nang taos-puso, pahahalagahan ng mga tao ang inyong gawa at aanihin ninyo sa huli ang bunga ng inyong mga sakripisyo,” dagdag ng tutor.
Nakiisa ang Unang Ginang sa mga aktibidad sa pagpipinta kasama ang mga PDL sa Medium Security Camp ng NBP sa pamamagitan ng Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program, na nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga PDL para sa malikhaing pagpapahayag at makabuluhang pakikisalamuha bukod sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na gawain.
Sa aktibidad, kasama ng Unang Ginang sina Associate Justice Karl Miranda at Bagong Buhay Group of Artists (BAGA) President Joey De Leon. Binigyang-diin sa event ang papel ng sining sa repormasyon ng mga nakakulong at sa kanilang personal na paglago at pag-unlad.
Sa pagtanggap sa Unang Ginang sa painting session, inilarawan siya ni Justice Miranda bilang “a patron of the arts and the silent champion of PDL reformation.”
“Hindi alam ng nakararami kung ano ang itinulong ng First Lady for PDL reformation,” said Miranda, noting the First Lady came to the NBP without being asked and bringing with her not only a few artists but hundreds of other volunteers or champions for PDLs.
Dumalo rin sa event kasama ng Unang Ginang ang tanyag na Chinese painter at Harvard alumnus na si Liping Zheng na ang karera sa sining at propesyonal na buhay ay malalim na nauugnay sa Philippines. Nagsasagawa si Liping Zheng ng mga libreng art workshop para sa mga nakakulong.
Nag-tutor din sa mga PDL sa event noong Martes ang mga artist mula sa Amadeo, Cavite, at Cebu.
Bukod sa mga painting lesson, nagtampok din ang Kulay, Kalinga, Katarungan at Kalayaan program ng dermatological medical at wellness mission, na nagbigay ng mga serbisyong pangkalusugan sa mga PDL. | PND
