CHRISTINE BABAO
Christine’s exposure to art is through her better half, Julius who has been an avid art collector. Through the years she has evolved from just appreciating the aesthetics of artworks that her husband has collected to developing her own tastes and starting her own modest collection of artworks as well. Christine became more involved with artists themselves through the various socio-civic activities that she and Julius have done in the past years like fundraising art exhibits. Art is very much present in Christine and Julius’ life that they actually had the renewal of their 5th wedding vows in 2008 and their 10th wedding vows in 2013 at the Pinto Museum &Art Gallery, where they also had their wedding reception in 2003.
As a broadcaster turned media producer, Christine has maintained her presence as a media personality online. Aside from being an active media influencer on several digital platforms, Christine’s television programs are now online. With everything that they do going digital, it was actually upon Christine’s suggestion to Julius in mid 2019 that the online site Art Ph was conceptualized.
