My Story, My SM - Willy Layug

Most Kapampangans are devout Roman Catholics. Every town in the province has at least one church and several small chapels. The province also has the most beautiful examples of colonial church architecture in the Philippines, especially in Betis, Apalit, Bacolor, and Angeles. This tradition of ecclesiastical art continues today with master sculptors like Willy Layug, who within his shop Betis Galleria, has paved the way for new trends and dynamic styles in religious icon-making and retablo making through his guild, Matenakan Artisano Santa Ursula. Wilfredo Tadeo Layug comes from an artistic family from Betis – all sculptors and wood carvers from Barangay Sta. Ursula, considered as the town’s art center. In this creative milieu, Layug grew up exposed to the art of santeros, painters, and folk artists. With this, as well as innovations such as the art of estofado, which he learned in Spain, he has created some of the most beautiful - and historic - examples of sacred art. These include the statue of Our Lady of Palo which was placed near the altar of the Tacloban Airport for the open air Mass celebrated by Pope Francis on January 17, 2015. Another of his works, the Crucified Christ as the centerpiece of the Papal Mass at the Quirino Grandstand. Layug is grateful that SM has been very supportive of his work and advocacy through its cultural programs – exhibits, workshops, and even special screenings of a film about his life. That is why when it was time for him to launch a book about his art and life, he held it at SM City Pampanga.
