Since I'm an artist myself, I might as well comment on the Kulo Art Exhibit issue.
As the story goes, Mideo Cruz and several others displayed artwork at the Cultural Center of the Philippines that mixes religious imagery and phallic symbols. The Catholic bloc of the country took offense at the imagery and demanded its closure. It was closed, and the artists and other blocs of society complained that it was a suppression of freedom of expression. For some reason, it got so popular that it became the subject of a Senate hearing.
