Art, Censorship and the Immaculate Philippines.

Given the current state of censorship of free expression in the Philippines, it is most safe to assume that the following art works or similar depictions of said art works in various media - print, tv, film, advertising - may never ever be allowed to be shown lest these images pollute the immaculate sensibilities of the most conservative Filipinos in the Catholic Philippines.

So enjoy these art works here.
