15 June 2024 – As part of the 70th anniversary of the Philippine-German partnership, the German-owned Magkaisa Mabini Art Collection proudly displayed Philippine art, showcasing cultural richness and artistic diversity and fostering German appreciation for Philippine art. At the Ube Fiesta, alongside featuring Rizal Wine, the Magkaisa stand also highlighted the winning artwork of John Paul Antido and other top Rizal artworks from the Rizal Wine Label nationwide art competition. Antipolo-based Mr. Antido is in Germany to promote the Rizal Wine and his artwork which graces the label of the 2024 edition of Rizal wine. The Rizal Wine, which was crafted in collaboration with various Philippine and German agencies including the PH Consulate General in Frankfurt, the Magkaisa, Knights of Rizal- Heidelberg and Wilhelmsfeld Chapter, Office of the Mayor of Wilhelmsfeld and the German Embassy Manila, among others, serves as a tribute to the Philippines’ national hero Jose Rizal, whose lasting legacy in Germany enriches cultural, historical, and people-to-people relations between the Philippines and Germany.
