Kwentong Galing!
World Class Glass Master
By Chelo S. Aloria
When asked what his middle initial stands for, Ramon G. Orlina
laughingly answered, "Glass!" Well, there's no doubt
he earned such a name being the firstFilipino to master glass
sculpture.
There's only a handful of Filipino artists who use glass as
medium. That's because glass, unlike wood is not an easy material
to carve. But Orlina proves otherwise and can do more than just

Orlina's translucent life OMNIUM-GATHERUM
by Miguel Ramos
Ramon
Orlina is an artist deeply passionate about his art and truly
proud of what he has accomplished. Rightfully so. After all,
it is not every day that one is able to successfully create
a new art form.
Miguel
Ramos: When did you know you had a talent for art?
Ramon
Orlina: I’ve always liked art. I always thought I was
good at drawing. Even when I was young, I already liked to
draw, especially from comics. In my generation everybody read
comics…maybe not people your age anymore…
