Last June 13-14, 2026, ART SHOP CCC by Lan Esquillo returned to Brgy. Ampucao, Itogon, Benguet to celebrate 9 years.
I’m blessed and deeply grateful for every volunteer in my circle from church, work, co-artists and new friends. Thank you for your time, talent, care and support before and during “Hike, Plant & Paint - ART SHOP CCC Project: Community Mural & Tree Planting” in partnership with Travel Mo To and Barangay Ampucao, Itogon, Benguet. The event was a success, as we repainted the wall we first painted 8 years ago.
Thank you to everyone who supported ART SHOP CCC, from the Philippines and people around the world, who bought my Traveller T-shirts, bought my paintings, and gave kind donations of cash and paints. You are part of what we do at Mt. Ulap.
With special participation of students from Ampucao Elementary, with Teacher Chester and the Artventure Team.
Special thanks to:
*Ms. Roxane Bantasan Dominguez, Committee on Tourism Secretary, for coordinating with us and assisting my team during the tree planting
*Brgy. Captain Freddie Altiga and officials and the community of Brgy. Ampucao for your kindness and warm welcome!
*Our tour guide, Kuya Mark, for helping and assisting us!
*Reuden of Travel mo to for helping me and going above and beyond for all my requests
