Abstract: This study aims to examine Juan Luna’s masterpiece Spoliarium through the Filipino-oriented metacriticism of Bienvenido Lumbera and Virgilio Almario in order to determine how it may be read as an image of truth and a discourse of national identity. The research employed a qualitative design, specifically a metacritical approach, to analyze selected texts, essays, and interpretations of scholars and critics concerning the artwork. Based on the results, it was found that the Spoliarium is more than a representation of colonial tragedy; it is an artwork that reveals truths rooted in the history, experiences, and patriotic sentiments of the Filipino people. Through the Filipino-oriented metacriticism, Luna’s art is recontextualized into the national discourse as a visual narrative portraying both the suffering and rising of the nation toward the formation of a Filipino identity. Thus, the study shows that art is not merely an expression of aesthetics but also a conduit of patriotic consciousness and truth rooted in the essence of being Filipino.
