ON Sept. 21, 2024, Bettina Rodriguez Olmedo, wife of renowned Filipino artist Luis 'Onib' Olmedo, released her book 'Onib and Me' as a heartfelt tribute to her late husband.

This collaborative work beautifully combined Onib's artworks with Bettina's intimate retelling of his life to offer readers a unique glimpse of the multi-awarded artist's life.

Onib Olmedo made his foray into the glitzy world of ballet when his daughters started taking ballet lessons, showing their skills during annual recitals.
