𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: LAKBAYANI 2026 | Bringing Philippine history to life, one stop at a time 🇵🇭

Last 4 October 2026, our fellows visited historical sites across Manila, revisiting key moments in Philippine history through the life of Dr. Jose Rizal, the works of Juan Luna and Carlos “Botong” Francisco, and the stories of Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto.

From Intramuros and Rizal Park to Paco Park, the National Museum of Fine Arts, Museo ng Katipunan, and Museo El Deposito each stop offered a closer look at the people, events, and ideas that helped shape our nation.

Here’s a look back at our Lakbayani highlights! 📸
