Panday Sining is known as a group of collective artists in different school
nationwide which aims to create art as a medium progressive freedom of

there are a lot of ways on expressing freedom of expression without
damaging private and public property. I believe that the graffiti art made by
the group of panday sining in the underpass doesn’t count as street art at all
and it will fall as vandalism.

writing, drawing, marking, inscribing, on any public property or private

present in the Philippines in the case of public property, or without the
written consent of the owner or occupant in the case of private property shall
suffer penalties”. The Bill is clear with regards to the action that may be
penalized to those who commits these act. On November 24, 2019, over
