Napcabbing

 

I recently had the opportunity to stay at this Napcab at Munich International Airport.  After a nine-hour trip from the United States, I was faced wih a long layover in Munich (I arrived at 8 a.m. and my connection flight was at 9:45 p.m.).  I really needed a bed to stretch my back for at least a couple of hours. This napcab is located near the arrivals and Service Center areas at Terminal 2. It is outside the security checkpoints.

Making the reservation was easy to do. The monitor outside the Napcab will walk you through the steps to enter the cabin. You’ll need a credit card and your phone to get the passcode to gain entry to the room. Once you’re in the cabin, you can lower the blinds for privacy. The room is clean and has plenty of space for your luggage. There’s a desk and outlets if you need to charge your devices. The bed accommodates one. I understand that there are cabins now that have a double bed.

You can set the alarm for your preferred wake up time using this screen in front of the bed. You can also set up the lighting mood or turn it off as you please and if you wish to adjust the temperature in the cabin, the thermostat for air cooling/heating is right by the door.

After you have booked the cabin for the specified time, the monitor will show “occupied”. No once else will be able to use it until your time is up. If you need to go out to buy food or go to the restroom, you can leave the room but don’t forget your password so you can re-enter the cabin. When I stayed here in May 2025, the rate was €17.00 per hour. Rates vary depending on the time of day you use the cabin. For more information about locations, rates, hours and more, you can check their website at napcabs.com.

The Art of Carlos Botong Francisco - Progress of Medicine in the Philippines

Pre-colonial period Pag-unlad ng Panggagamot sa Pilipinas (The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines) is a group of four large-scale paintings depicting healing practices in the Philippines from pre-colonial times to the modern period. Carlos Botong Francisco was commissioned in 1953 by  Dr. Agerico Sison who was then the director of Philippine General Hospital (PGH) together with   Dr. Eduardo Quisumbing of the National Museum, Dr. Florentino Herrera, Jr. and Dr. Constantino Manahan. These oil on canvas paintings measure 2.92 meters in height and 2.76 meters in width (9.71 ft x 8.92 ft) and were displayed at the main entrance hall of PGH for over five decades. Owing to its location, the artworks were in a state of "severe deterioration" at the beginning of the 21st century from exposure to heat, humidity, dirt, dust, smoke, insect stains, grime, termites and an oxidized synthetic resin used in an earlier restoration. These canvases were restored three times, the last was...

The Philippine Village Life by Vicente Silva Manansala

Pamilya (Family) With the completion of their new headquarters in Manila in 1961, PhilAm Life (a life insurance company) commissioned Vicente Silva Manansala to do a series of paintings for their cafeteria. (Lucky employees!) Before long these seven large-scale paintings about Philippine village life were moved to the front lobby which was deemed a more appropriate setting for the canvases. They remained there until the building was sold in 2012. Mindful of the cultural significance of the paintings and the need for its preservation and conservation, the management of PhilAm Life decided to loan these treasures to the National Museum in 2014. “Pamilya reflects Filipino values of family solidarity and solemnity showing a common scenario of praying before sharing a meal with one’s family.” National Museum of the Philippines Pagkain (Food) One of the Thirteen Moderns and Neo Realists, Vicente Silva Manansala had the good fortune to study art in Canada, the United States, France and Switz...

Filipino Struggles in History - Carlos Botong Francisco

In 1968, Antonio Villegas (then Mayor of Manila), commissioned Carlos "Botong" Francisco to paint the history of Manila for Manila City Hall. The series of large scale paintings was called  Kasaysayan ng Maynila  (History of Manila).  The paintings deteriorated over time and no attempt was made to preserve these historical canvases until 2013 when Mayor Amado Lim sent them to the National Museum for extensive restoration. Four years later, in 2017, Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada and the Manila City Council signed an agreement with the National Museum to leave the paintings at the museum so they may reach a larger audience in exchange for museum grade reproductions to replace the originals. Kasaysayan ng Maynila was later renamed Filipino Struggles in History and is now on display at the Senate Hall of the National Museum . Carlos "Botong" Francisco died in March 1969, a few months after completing the paintings. He is one of the first Filipino modernists and...
