Guardians of History

Heritage,

by Neil Solomon L. Locsin

The Negros Occidental Historical Council (NOHC) was founded by then Gov. Alfredo L. Montelibano Jr. (Provincial Board Res. 33) on January 15, 1971. Aurelio Locsin was its first chairman. It's one of the oldest historical councils in the country. Its primary mandate is to promote and nurture the value of history, culture and heritage in the province of Negros Occidental.

The NOHC has been assisting academic researchers and persons interested in the past stories of the province. Its office in the north wing of the Provincial Capitol houses research material and a modest archive. The NOHC also conducts outreach programs geared for awareness of history amongst the youth and educators.

On November 5, 2018, on the 120th Anniversary of the Cinco de Noviembre Revolution, the Board of Directors of the Negros Occidental Historical Council was awarded "Outstanding Negrenses (in the field of History and Culture) by the late Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr.

The Silay Heritage Facebook page is personally managed by Solo Locsin, a trustee of the Heritage Conservation Society (HCS), Director of the Negros Occidental Historical Council and former Councilor of Silay.

Its diverse content is a collection of histories and narratives of everything Silay put together by Solo and his friends. He amusingly describes the page as his “CASH” – Culture, Arts, Style and Heritage.

Negros Season of Culture SPECIAL : Not an Angry Christ

Cultural Experience, Heritage

In this video, Tats Manahan talks about the work of Alfonso Ossorio, in "Not an Angry Christ".

“Not an Angry Christ,’ a documentary re-visits the significance, symbolism and interpretation of the mural of Alfonso Ossorio, located in the Victorias Milling Corp.compound in Negros Occidental. The artist, son of VMC founder, Don Miguel Ossorio, was one of theearly artists of New York’s abstract expressionist movement, the art genre that moved the art capital of the world from Paris to New York.

The 160 square meter altar piece whose real title is “The Last Judgement,” at the Chapel of St. Joseph the Worker is popularly known as “The Angry Christ” because of the seemingly fierce countenance of the floor-to-ceiling Christ image. Further research during the on-going restoration of the chapel, the restoration team, headed by Liliane Rejante Manahan, unearths other profound meanings apart from the original research of Prof. Eric Torres in 1967, that debunks the popular monicker given the mural.
