A large figurative canvas crowded with children of every age. A boy paints at an easel, a girl in fairy wings lifts a brush, another reads in a red dress, and a guitarist in headphones plays beside them. Younger children stand in the foreground holding fruit and a kite. Ripe produce spills across the ground, and scattered banknotes drift through the scene. Behind them, a city skyline glows in a dusk sky. The title translates to value or worth, and the mood is tender and dreamlike, with a quiet allegorical edge. This figurative painting suits collectors of contemporary Filipino art, and its scale makes it a strong anchor for a living room, gallery wall, or corporate collection. Halaga is acrylic on canvas, measuring 183 x 122 cm (about 72 x 48 in), and was completed in 2026. The work is signed by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is priced at PHP 2,500,000 and is offered unframed.
