On 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, the 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁: Trajectories and Movements of Filipino Identity by the 𝗨𝗣 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 opened its suitcases across the grounds of 𝗣𝗨𝗣 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, each one unveiling stories of movement, memory, and identity.

Our 4th-year History students — Frenchie Dy Galoso, Robie Mar Macalalad, Lou Favilla, Shaina Fabella, Christine Mabini, Shiela Jamot, James Galanta, Ruelle Molina, and Kurt Enriquez— had the honor of guiding young learners through this living timeline of the Filipino people, 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣-𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖.

The Pamana Voices of Philippine Heritage led by 𝗗𝗿. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗫𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿 and assisted by 𝗠𝘀. 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗚𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻, is an ongoing project that aims to engage and partner with various communities, on a global scale in discussing, discovering, and exploring what it means to be Filipino. The central theme of the exhibit was the Movement of People: Ancient Immigration into the Philippines and Modern Emigration. It sought to shine a light on the diversity of the archipelago, and to summarize some of the highlights of its modern cultures—domestic and expatriate— and remote past. Pamana traces how centuries of movement, adaptation, and exchange have shaped Filipino culture and identity.

May 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢 remind us that heritage is not just something we inherit from the past and is greatly affected by the things we do today. Let us cherish, protect, and advocate for our heritage so that we can truly 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢 it to the next generations.
