About the Event

How does music empower us to tell our story as Filipinos? Join National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab as he explores this theme in Pamanang Pilipino, a revitalized lecture series on Filipino cultural heritage rooted in the permanent collections of Ayala Museum and Filipinas Heritage Library (FHL). In "Enhancing the Power of Music to Tell Our Story as Filipinos," a lecture anchored on FHL's Himig Collection, Mr. C will talk about the role of music in conveying stories, strengthening connections, and sparking inspiration. He will also share insights on how musicians and advocates can help shape the future of Filipino music. Pamanang Pilipino is presented by Ayala Museum and Filipinas Heritage Library. It highlights how cultural inheritance continues to shape Filipino identity and offers new ways of understanding our evolving heritage. This event is made possible with the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts through the Order of the National Artist program.
