Lucio Diestro San Pedro, Sr. (February 11, 1913 – March 31, 2002) was a Filipino composer and teacher who was proclaimed a National Artist of the Philippines for Music in 1991.[3] Today, he is remembered for his contribution to the development of Filipino regiona

Named after our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, the province of Rizal has been known as the Cradle of Philippine Art for its artist communities and folk festivals.

It can be said that art is part of the province’s destiny. Rizal is where one can find the petroglyphs, a cultural site known as the most ancient Filipino work of art dating back to 3000BC. Art also thrived during the Spanish colonial period with artists like Juancho Senson and Pedro Piñon.

It is therefore not surprising that the province of Rizal is the home of two National Artists – Carlos “Botong” Francisco and Lucio San Pedro.

The recent launch of My City, My SM, My Music at SM City Masinag gave mallgoers a rare glimpse of the life and work of National Artist for Music LucioDiestro San Pedro, a composer who has glorified the Filipino soul through the creative use of the folk idiom in his compositions, and stands today as a paragon of excellence in the field of music. SM’s other malls in Rizal – SM City Taytay, SM City Marikina, SM City San Mateo, and SM Center Angono also joined in the celebration.
