Artist’s Statement 2026 | JM Kayne
It has always felt natural for me to gravitate toward teaching and learning. Ever since my childhood dream of becoming a teacher came true in college, I’ve continued seeking opportunities that let me share knowledge while also growing from what I learn. As an artist, my curiosity never seems to run out. I’m constantly drawn to new creative mediums that keep me inspired and challenged. Over the past 40 years, I’ve explored many forms of creative expression—drawing, painting, blogging, writing magazine articles, creating artwork, giving presentations, doing voiceovers, hosting events, and producing videos and vlogs. A period of unemployment a few years ago became an unexpected turning point, giving me…

Confessions & Kulba — Let’s Talk Faith!
❓QUESTION: Why do we “kulba” before Confession? Why does the heart grow quiet,the eyes lower,the soul bend inwardbefore we step into mercy? I know the answer —but I wonder how you would name it. What stirs in youwhen you kneel,when you pause,when grace is about to speak? Let’s talk faith! #FaithConversations #BBB2026 #Catholicism

The Choice
Lately, this thought has been playing in my head… Every single day, we make choices.When the alarm goes off, we decide whether to extend for another 5–10 minutes or to get up and start the day. We choose what to wear, whether or not to eat, and so much more — all within just an hour or two of waking up. But beyond these small, daily decisions lies something far more important: how we choose to live our lives — day in and day out. When life throws us lemons, when it feels like a roller coaster of highs, lows, and in-betweens, when it’s hard to get up, or even…

Ticking Off a Bucket-list with M2M’s The Better Endings Concert!!!
Don’t say you love me, you don’t even know me … if you really want me then give me some time … These lyrics have been stuck in my head for the past three months—ever since right before our vacation in May! The moment I saw that teaser video of them together again, I just knew in my heart: I had to see them live. I prayed that Cebu would be included in their tour, and lo and behold—Cebu was announced as the final leg of their Philippine schedule. Thank you, Lord! Right away, I booked my flight, told my high school besties Gemma and Jackie, and excitedly said,…

A Deeper Weight: Reflections on The Passion of the Christ
A Deeper Weight: Reflections on The Passion of the Christ Last night, I watched The Passion of the Christ once again. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen it—but something was different this time. As I grow older and continue to invest in my spiritual journey, each scene hits deeper. The weight of Christ’s suffering settles heavier on my heart. It pains me. It makes me cry. It brings overwhelming sorrow to see Jesus suffer—because of me. And yet, in the midst of that sorrow, I’m drawn into reflection. Where were the people who celebrated Him on Palm Sunday? Why were they absent on Good Friday?As humans, are…
