(SPOT.ph) We're thanking the heavens that we can now own a BenCab without bidding at Christie's and spending a fortune. As part of the year-long celebration of Benedicto "BenCab" Cabrera's five decades of creativity and contribution to Philippine art, the National Artist collaborated with National Book Store for the BenCab x National Book Store collection, a line of limited-edition stationery products.
“Now you can have BenCab on notebooks, and things that will help you remember. You don’t need P10 million to own a BenCab today. You can have it on a notebook and a note pad. It is one way for us to help celebrate BenCab’s 50 creative years and hope that we will see 50 creative more years after this,” historian Ambeth Ocampo said.

The BenCab x National Book Store collection features five pieces by the National Artist: Monumental Figure III, Woman with Fan, Mother and Child, Pillow Vendors, and the iconic Sabel. You can choose from memo pads, pocket notebooks, spiral notebooks, journals, sketch pads, notecard sets, and memo cube boxes, which all come in different colors. It's also a great gift idea for art enthusiasts!
