A lantern that blends tradition, sustainability, and technologyThis coming Christmas season, we look back at UPOU student Sherry Mae Alcano’s “NINGNING” star lantern. Made entirely of recycled materials, her lantern honors the livelihood of Filipino communities and the traditional crafts of indigenous groups in the country.While her full work was presented through an AR platform, we are highlighting today an animated video of the lanterns, which also depicts her silent protection against the proposed phaseout of jeepneys and its impact on the livelihood of Filipinos.Watch the animated video of the lantern below.#ChristmasSeason2025 #HolidayInspiration #UPOU #DigitalArt ...
