This past Friday in The Philippine Star there appeared an obituary to a 43-year old artist named Joey Velasco, who had painted the TABLE OF HOPE (Hapag ng Pa-asa).

The obituary was written by an acquaintance at the Star, author Ricky Lo. The painting and story of the real life characters who made up the artist's projection of The Last Supper inspired me to share the tale to the world.

Joey Velasco died on July 23, 2010 of kidney failure. By all accounts, the author was prepared in his last weeks for his fate.
