00:00 The Metropolitan Museum of Manila confirms its upcoming Banksy Universe exhibit is not
00:06 authorized or endorsed by the graffiti artist himself.
00:10 In a statement sent to Rappler, the museum says the exhibit will feature over a hundred
00:14 of Banksy's works.
00:16 Pest Control, the organization that handles Banksy, earlier said in their website that
00:21 they are not involved or associated with any international exhibition of Banksy's works.
00:27 Bonifacio Global City earlier promoted the event in its Facebook page with a caption
00:31 saying "Art is not a crime."
00:34 After a backlash, the post has since been taken down.
00:38 Netizens say that the exhibit, which will be held at BGC, defeats the essence of Banksy's
00:43 works.
