A created piece is only considered as an art is it's widely recognized by many and not by the creator.
Manila, Philippines - It has been one of the most talked about controversial issues that is taking the social media about the arrest of four of the members of the communist militants the " Panday Sining " for disregarding the city ordinance prohibiting vandalism. The four militants were taken into custody after being caught vandalising the newly painted Quezon at Quiapo district despite repeatedly warned.

Last week, the Manila Mayor Isko Moreno was infuriated after the members of the Panday Sining vandalized the newly renovated underpass in Manila. Moreno has been persistent since he got elected on cleaning up Manila and restoring it's faded glory. After being denounced, members of the red tagged episgones were quick to defend themselves and claimed that the graffitis they created on the different infrastructures in the city were forms of art that contain significant meaning.
Alot were triggered after hearing the statement of the representative of the Panday Sining when interviewed by a journalist who strongly reiterated that what they did were indeed forms of art and not vandalism. Many Filipinos did not accept their ideas of art creation and were accused of being delusional and didn't have an ideal concept of art. For many, their graffitis is a complete rubbish.
Some have compared their graffitis to the Lennon walls created by the Hong Kong's Pro-Democracy protesters that are highly regarded as ideal forms of art not only by the citizens of Hong Kong but people from other countries who support their ongoing demonstration against the encroachment of China. Protesters of Hong Kong are well known for giving an artistic backdrops on their fight for freedom and democracy.

The Lennon wall which originated in Prague during the 80s was adapted and reintroduced to the world by Hong Kongers as they struggle to preserve democracy as the communism creeps their city. The Lennon wall contains plastered sticky notes with written messages, posters and fictional characters. It is where they wrtie down their grievances against the government oh Hong Kong and the communist China.

Alot of the Lennon walls have sprung up in many ttunnels , subterminals and different infrastructures in different districts of Hong Kong. People who would pass the Lennon walls are truly impressed on how they were intricately made and very artistically profound. People would even stop and take time to observe and read the messages and slogans on the Lennon walls.
In the Philippines, people who would see the graffitis created by the communists adherents are often irritated. While in Hong Kong Pro-Democracy citizens would even fight against the pro-Beijings who would deface the Lennon wall just to defend it. People from other countries like in Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Great Britain have even created their own Lennon walls to show their strong support for the people Hong Kong in the quest for democracy.
The militant group particularly the members vandalizing the different infrastructures in different cities of Philippines are often persecuted by people bacause for the majority, it is way of bringing the communist ideologies and their work are ignored, ridiculed, often regarded as a plain obscured graffitis The infrastructures in different cities of the Philippines is not a intendedly made for the platforms of communist ideologies and for many, the form of art that the members of Panday Sining and other red tagged leftist are highly considered as junk.
