Marco Ruben T. Malto II is an Assistant Professor at the UP Diliman College of Fine Arts, Department of Studio Arts. He served as the Department Chair in 2006 for a year, before taking a leave in 2007 to join his wife in Namibia, a former VSO programme staff and volunteer. His stay in Namibia allowed him to volunteer with a local organization and hold art workshops for orphans and vulnerable children due to HIV & AIDs. As a UP Pahinungod, Malto was a full-time volunteer at the Nayon ng Kabataan in Pasay, for a year, where he conducted regular art activities for the children. Mixing his art with his other passion--philately, Malto designed several sets of stamps which include those that commemorated Namibia’s first and only UNESCO World Heritage Site, launched in 2008 and to honor the late President Cory Aquino, which were chosen by the Philippine Postal Corporation, launched in 2009.
