Palayok by Pablo K. Capati III

📍Aphro, The Alley at Karrivin Plaza

The palayok is a round-bottomed, wide-mouthed native cooking pot traditionally used in Filipino cooking.

Aphro presents Palayok by Pablo K. Capati III, as part of launch of Doreen G. Fernandez’s “Sarap” and “Palayok” this October 11, 2025.

Born from a doodle in a high school math class, Marshall is the oddball child of an alien father and a gumdrop mother. With his chubby body, spindly limbs, and endless changes of costume, he reflects Natalya Lagdameo’s love of playful contradictions, her instinct to explore identity through form, and as a way of releasing her inner “weird”.

Over time, Marshall has grown into an enduring character carrying that strangeness with humor, and turning him into a reminder that art can make the world lighter, stranger, and more joyful, one Marshall at a time.
