A new National Museum is opening soon in Baler
The National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) is set to open a new region branch in Baler, Aurora. The upcoming National Museum of the Philippines Baler was recently previewed at an event held at the museum site, coinciding with the belated celebration of Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day. "This museum is a tribute not only to Aurora's rich cultural and natural heritage but also to the enduring friendship between the Philippines and Spain," said NMP Director-General Jeremy Barns during the event. "Let this museum be a space where heritage is preserved, histories are shared, and new cultural encounters begin," he added. The event was attended by Spanish Ambassador to the Philippines Miguel Utray Delgado, Baler Mayor Rhett Ronan Angara, and National Historical Commission of the Philippines Chairman Regalado Trota Jose, Jr. Designed by renowned architect Ed Calma, NMP Baler will feature exhibitions that reflect the region's identity, shaped by the Sierra Madre mountain range, the Pacific Ocean, and the diverse communities of eastern Luzon, including the Dumagat, Agta, Ilongot-Bugkalot,Tagalogs, and Ilokanos. The National Museum of the Philippines Baler is expected to open to the public later this year. —Hermes Joy Tunac/MGP, GMA Integrated News
