Spanish cultures.
Photos from the Ayala Museum and Spanish Embassy exhibit dubbed "Connectados" will be projected as video at five primary locations in the Makati Central Business District.

They are expected to explore striking similarities between the three countries.
Using an exhibition photo by Carlos Esguerra, for instance, the Ayala Museum posted in its Facebook account: "Although we share a lot, what is the most common Filipino, Spanish and Mexican surname? The answer seems to be Garcia, believed to have come from the Basque word 'Gatzea,' meaning "young.'"
