Manila - The third week of the National Arts festival is the week of visual arts, cinema and architecture.

Two of the festival`s main events, PA(ng)LABAS: architecture, cinema, performance, and Sinerehiyon, started February 17 and 18, respectively, and are still ongoing at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). PA(ng)LABAS is a travel exposition, lecture-forum and film showing examining both the medium of film and the form and style of architecture; whereas, Sinerehiyon is a showcase of the emerging regional cinema. Both events will end tomorrow, February 21.

The Philippine Visual Arts Fest 2009, a convergence of selected Filipino artists from the different regions of the country as well as international artists, opens today and will be on until Sunday, February 22, at the Robinson`s Place Manila and Robinson`s Place Pioneer.
