Ceramicist Lanelle Abueva-Fernando is one busy lady.
She runs her shop of 15 workers and keeps an eye on The Crescent Moon Cafe
both in Antipolo; conducts classes, oversees a Greenhills outlet and is mom
to 2 girls.
Her earthen wares with a distinct Japanese aesthetic are seen in a number of
fine homes, restaurants and resorts. A niece of the National Artist for
Sculpture Napoleon Abueva and daughter of former University of the Philippines
President Jose Abueva, it is no wonder that she has focused her girlhood interest of Japanese
pottery as her life's passion.
How to go there
First objective here is to get to Antipolo. For those who are not familiar
with how to get to Antipolo, you can start from the EDSA shrine at the intersection
of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue. From the EDSA shrine, head eastward along Ortigas
Avenue all the way (about 10+km) to the Tikling Hiway junction at foot of the mountains
of Antipolo. At the junction, follow the road to the left. This will take you
through winding roads up to the mountain until you reach a Y-junction with a
monument and the big Ynares Center building behind it. This is now Antipolo.
At the Y-junction in Antipolo, follow the road veering southward to the right.
This is a circumferential road, follow the road as it loops back eastward, passing through
the following landmarks: Unciano Medical Center on the right, Imperial Theater on the left,
a major junction, and then a Uniwide Store on the right until you see a Flying-V Gasoline station
behind a tri-forked junction. At the junction, just follow the road veering
southeastward to the right. 850 meters from the junction, after a Shell gasoline
station and the Milagros Subdivision entrance on the right side, turn right on
Ascension Road. Lanelle's Crescent Moon Cafe is just 240 meters down Ascension Road
on the left side. Waypoint narrative by: ChachaVG 2002
