Born 1953 in the Philippines, Edgardo Lantin graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fine Arts in 1976 at the University of Santo Tomas. He worked as a graphic artist upon migrating to Canada in 1981.

In 1989, to commemorate the visit of then Philippine President Corazon Aquino, the Vancouver, Filipino community gifted the late president with a life-size oil portrait done by Canadian Filipino artist Edgardo S. Lantin.

Lantin, who was then relatively new in portraiture, basked in the limelight when the visiting president graciously accepted the gift. The portrait was a labour of love, at the same time a big challenge for me, the artist said of his work now displayed at the Malacanang Museum.
