Each member of the PinoyLUG team that worked on this project practiced the “Bayanihan Spirit” in building the mosaic together without expectations - only the realization that they have actually re-created a great masterpiece from the “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art” who brilliantly portrayed the bayanihan custom of coming together in times of need, creating a sense of nationhood that is vital in the Pilipino’s continuing formation of his own national identity.
