QC mayor approves creation of Amorsolo Senior High School

Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista has signed an ordinance establishing the Fernando C. Amorsolo Senior High School in Barangay Kamuning.

City Ordinance 2656-2018 introduced by Councilor Julienne Alyson Rae V. Medalla states that the Local School Board has recommended to name the Senior High School within M.H. del Pilar Elementary School compound and to be named after the first National Artist of the country, Fernando C. Amorsolo.

“In honor of his legacy, the senior high school to be established at Barangay Kamuning, shall be named as Fernando C. Amorsolo Senior High School,” the ordinance reads.

The Fernando C. Amorsolo Senior High School aims to initially offer Academic and Technical-Vocational Livelihood tracks including General Academic and Animation/Computer Programming Strands.

Amorsolo, the “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art,” is known for his craftsmanship and mastery in the use of natural light. He is also popular for developing the back-lighting technique that became his artistic trademark and greatest contribution to Philippine art. —LBG, GMA News
