The opening of the exhibit was graced by NHCP executive director Carminda R. Arevalo, Manila City mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan, Manila City vice-mayor Yul Servo Nieto, and Bahay Nakpil-Bautista Foundation, Inc.’s Bobby Nakpil Santos-Viola.
The exhibit was first opened in the Caloocan City Hall (South) on May 9 before being transferred to the Manila City Hall with the help of the Department of Tourism, Culture, and Arts of Manila, headed by Charlie Duñgo.
The exhibit will run until Aug. 16 as part of the celebration of History Month.
