National Museum of the Philippines - Bohol

14/09/2026

Let’s travel east and discover the natural wonders of the Bohol Island Geopark.

Last February, NMP Bohol collaborated with Vogue Philippines and the Boholtourismph to highlight more of what makes Bohol an extraordinary destination, shaped by nature, culture, and communities that continue to thrive despite the odds.

From remarkable landscapes to stories rooted in the people who call them home, the eastern side of Bohol offers another glimpse into an island where natural heritage and human experience are deeply connected.

Come with us as we journey east and discover more of what makes Bohol truly remarkable.

🏛️ CALL FOR ACTIVITIES | MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES MONTH 2026
“Bridging Divides, Preserving the Present for Tomorrow”

--

📣Calling all museums, galleries, cultural institutions, artists, cultural workers, schools, communities, and heritage organizations to join the Museums and Galleries Month Celebration this October!

Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 798, s. 1991, the Museums and Galleries Month (MGM) is annually celebrated during the month of October. This year, the MGM celebration banners the theme, “Bridging Divides, Preserving the Present for Tomorrow," MGM 2026 honors a truth too often forgotten: museums and galleries were never meant to be locked behind glass, velvet ropes, or unspoken rules about who belongs. They are meant to be shared, and to connect people and narratives across generations, backgrounds, and the very divides that keep worlds apart.

Let us bridge divides through culture, preserve what matters today, and carry our stories forward for generations to come.

OLD, BUT CHIC. SERVING LOOKS SINCE 1864. ✨

And what a look it is.

Coral stone. Monumental proportions. Intricate details. Recollect grandeur.

Standing proudly over the town of Loon is the Nuestra Señora de la Luz Parish Church, home of the beloved Birhen sa Kasilak, Our Lady of Light. Completed in 1864, the church has been described as the crowning glory of Recollect architecture in the Visayas and remains the largest stone church structure in Bohol.

A , it is more than an architectural landmark. Within its walls are generations of devotion, craftsmanship, memory, and community.

Old, but chic? Absolutely.
Back from the rubble. Still serving. Still radiant. ✨

On the eve of her feast, we celebrate Birhen sa Kasilak and the enduring faith and heritage she continues to illuminate.

Malipajong Bisperas, Loon! ✨

𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬. 🌊
𝙍𝘿. 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙤. 𝙅𝙚𝙝𝙪. 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙨. 𝙀𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙅𝙖𝙣𝙟𝙖𝙣. 𝙆𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖.

Seven young people from the island communities of Batasan and Pangapasan in Tubigon, Bohol. For them, climate change is not simply something discussed in reports, projections, or conversations about the future. It is something they have experienced and continue to experience in the places they call home.

They know these islands not from maps, but from growing up in them, watching the tides, navigating their waters, and witnessing how a changing environment affects their families, livelihoods, identities, and communities.

In 2024, they became part of a photovoice initiative of the film project, using photography, filmmaking, and storytelling to document these realities in their own voices. Their contribution offers something scientific data alone cannot provide: lived experience, local knowledge, memory, resilience, and a deeply personal sense of belonging.

They are not simply subjects of a climate story. They are its witnesses, storytellers, and voices from the frontlines.

The initiative was led by Dr. Ma. Laurice P. Jamero, Senior Scientist for Resilience at the Manila Observatory and Co-Lead of the Racing the King Tide film project, with the support of The Hatch, Liverpool John Moores University, Manila Observatory, and the British Council.

Their stories now reach a wider public through 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗱𝗲: 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, in collaboration with the NMP Bohol, led by Officer-in-Charge Rachelle C. Lacea.

Joining the launch in support were Rita Amor M. Narvasa, Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator; Rojer P. Lindo, Local Youth Development Officer; and Anthony R. Damalerio of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

The exhibition reminds us that conversations about climate change must include the people already living its realities.

Their stories are theirs to tell. Our responsibility is to make space, listen, and learn.
