This October, we honor the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of our Indigenous Peoples. For centuries, our Indigenous cultural communities have safeguarded their ancestral lands, fought for autonomy, and resisted oppression. From defying colonization to preserving their way of life despite discrimination, their resilience continues to inspire.

Let us stand with them and strengthen their voices in protecting the heritage that makes our country truly diverse.

“EARTHLINGS”... Bound by the same ground we rise from, these terracotta forms trace the fragile tether between being and belonging, a reminder that to be human is to be of the earth itself.

Through these works, the artist reflects on how shaping clay mirrors the act of shaping identity, grounding personal narratives in the material that has always held us.

Join us for the opening of this solo exhibition by Alan Cabalfin, an artist from Leon Iloilo, and explore sculptures that root us deeper into the stories of the earth.

The NHCP will commemorate the 164th birth anniversary of José Rizal on Thursday, 19 June 2025.

Wreath laying ceremonies will be held in the morning at the NHCP - Museo ni Jose Rizal, Calamba in Laguna, NHCP Museo ni Jose Rizal Dapitan in Zamboanga del Norte, NHCP Museo ni Jose Rizal Fort Santiago, and the Rizal National Monument in Manila.

In the afternoon, the children's book 𝘈𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘰 will be launched at the Book Nook of The Podium in Mandaluyong City. Originally written by Hans Christian Andersen and translated into Tagalog by Rizal, it was adapted into modern Filipino with new illustrations. The book will also be made available on the National Memory Project (memory.nhcp.gov.ph).

Rizal is best known for exposing social problems and inspiring the Filipino people through his writings, especially his novels 𝘕𝘰𝘭𝘪 𝘔𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘦 and 𝘌𝘭 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰. He also gave free medical services and taught children while he was exiled in Dapitan.

The NHCP is the national government agency mandated to promote Philippine history through its museums, research, and publications, and to preserve historical heritage through conservation and the marking of historic sites and structures.

𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐆-Ú𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘:
Man-án mo bala?

Isa ka lugar nga indi lang matawhay, kundi puno man kang istorya kag natural nga katahum. Sa likod kang mga bakilid, makit-an mo ang isa ka komunidad nga simple ang kabuhi pero madinalag-on sa paghiliusa. Didya, ang kalinong kang palibot nagapabakod espiritu kang mga pumuluyo.

Saksihan naton ang masunod nga baryo nga bugana sa kultura kag kasaysayan. Diri lamang sa Alung-ung Friday!
