This is a retrospective exhibit of the Asuncion brothers (Justiniano Asuncion, Mariano Asuncion, Leoncio Asuncion) from August 7, 2017 to January 14, 2018 at the Ayala Museum in the Philippines. Ma-an spearheaded and conceptualized the exhibit. Initially, the plan was to commemorate the bicentennial birthday of Justiniano Asuncion in 2016. But the opening came in 2017, and it became a showcase of the three Asuncion brothers' works - Justiniano, Leoncio, and Mariano, and at the same time, a personal celebration of the family.

Opened on October 14, 2006 at the Green Papaya Projects in the Philippines. The exhibit was a collection of video works of filmmakers, and this was organized by Jun Sabayton.
