Our Story: The Spark
Every masterpiece begins with a single stroke. Ours began with a vision.
It was the summer of 2007. Amidst the vibrant chaos of a small-town Filipino fiesta, a young visionary looked beyond the festive banderitas and saw something profound.
He saw creative hands turning dull, tedious walls into vivid murals of hope. He watched budding performers pour their souls onto makeshift stages, standing taller and shining brighter than the lights that illuminated them. In those raw, unpolished moments, he saw the true wealth of the nation.
That spark ignited a journey. The founder dedicated himself to mastering the vast spectrum of the Arts, learning by teaching, and leading by serving. From local workshops to international competitions, he expanded his horizons, eventually gathering a tribe of like-minded individuals who shared a singular dream: to build a sanctuary for Filipino talent.
They sought to cultivate the potential of those who had the passion but lacked the opportunity. They planted a seed that would grow into a haven for culture and creativity.
That seed is now OBRA Inc.
Today, we continue that legacy. We are the stage for the unheard, the canvas for the visionary, and the home for every Filipino artist ready to make their mark.
Create with us. Inspire with us. Be the OBRA.
