    Blanco Family of Angono, Rizal is known as the family of Artist. The head of the family, Jose “Pitok” Blanco, influenced his wife and his seven (7) children to create variety of art work that depicts the life in Angono, memories about their travel, and subjects that interest them. The youngest Blanco, Peter Paul, started his work of art at the age of eleven (11) months. He grew up playing with colors, canvas and brushes at their family studio. He is the youngest artist that exhibited in the Cultural Center of the Philippines and to have a one-man show at the age of nine (9). Peter Paul's subject are his pets and his discoveries around the world. Gay Blanco is the youngest daughter of Pitok. Contrary to everyone, Gay learned to draw first before she could start writing. She was exposed as an Artist during the family exhibit in Malaysia and Singapore. In 1983, young Gay won an bronze medal on one of the exhibits that they participated in Hongkong. Gay loves to paint women and children. Jan Blanco is the fifth child of Pitok. At a young age, Jan showed interest in painting birds. On his paintings he showed how birds are being domesticated and how some freely roam on the fields of Angono. Aside from birds, he is also active in making work of arts related to social concerns such as poverty and ecological balance. Joy Blanco- Balcita is the eldest daughter of Pitok. Her favorite subject are people of all ages and in different walks of life. Pitok’s third son Michael started to draw at the age of 10. Among all the members of the family, Michael has the most outstanding portraits. His portraits are detailed, precise and full of life. Aside from portraits, he also excel in landscape and genres particular to the daily activities of his folks. Noel is the second son of Pitok. He loves all sorts of water form and mood. He consider it as his element and subject. As the eldest son of Pitok, Glenn was challenged to follow the foot steps and standards of his father.

    Blanco Museum is representative of folk art, and how a family can nurture creativity.

    the family is impressive in that they seem to be a model family whose life revolves around art. i would say the father is the real artist there as his artworks have vision and some impressive composition. many of their artworks i wouldn’t say have much skill in them but are well cultured (especially the father’s)... the children’s artworks are lesser derivatives but are also interesting as they reflect Filipino life, especially family life and culture. sadly the grandchildren’s artworks don’t have the same feel and are moving towards modernism. 4* for an enriching experience and good visual reprentation of Filipino culture and family life

    What can I say! It has lots of paintings that cater to different aspects of life and experiences. During our visit, it creates a magical world of wonders that you could never have imagined. Simple yet amazing. The whole family Blanco from their father to their youngest member all know contributed that made all the walls showcase the craft and wit in paintings and in drawing. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the art of colours and variety of subjects. Come and visit and you'll see the best of Rizal artistry.

    A true legacy. Could easily be our country's treasure. I think the government should consider supporting this place to upgrade the maintenance situation of the Art work here, like the need to control humidity among other things. There's so much history in the pieces as well. Plus the whole place conveys Filipino family values worth emulating.

    I went there on Tuesday morning, The staffs are really nice and the artworks are majestic, the garden is very beautiful especially the fishes..If you are going there i suggest you to bring a portable fan because there is no air-condition inside and Use the restroom somewhere else because their comfort room is not pleasing. There is no bidet, no tissue, the flush isn't working and the water pressure is not good. Although the museum itself is good for visit. The blanco family is indeed very talented. I admire them.

    The works of Jose V. Blanco are truly admirable. He has captured the native Filipino scene into the realism of light and darkness. This is the reason why Angono has become the Art Capital. Visit the works of the Master. His genius has been passed through generations of the family.
