Kabuhi is the ilonggo term for “Life”. The Kabuhi series is Alvarado’s depiction of Negros islands’ life source, reminiscent of scenes from the coast and the fields.

He dedicates his achievements to the purpose of uplifting the society and culture.

Kabuhi opens on September 18, 2010 and culminates with the opening of the Masskara Festival on October 16, 2010.
