This massive piece, measuring five by seven feet, soared to P17.5 million at auction, inclusive of buyer’s premium. He emphasized, “Barrioquinto is also managed excellently by an art agency headed by the very talented Derek Flores. The heroes of the Revolution as well as the Philippine-American War, including Gen. Miguel Malvar, were also represented at the auction.
