The exhibit dubbed “Bagong Landas” presents 17 new works by Cardenas who has been involved in painting for the last seven years. Mr. Cardenas’ first solo exhibit at the Philippine Center took place in 2016.

Locsin, Jr. and Mrs. Louie Locsin, Consul General Theresa Dizon-De Vega, Philippine Center Manager Arman R. Talbo, officers and staff of the Philippine Consulate General, Philippine Mission, Philippine Center, New York-based artists, community members, family, and friends of the artist.
