NMP JOINS NATIONAL FLAG DAYS

May 28 marks the commemoration of the victory of the revolutionary forces in the Battle of Alapan in Imus, Cavite, which led to the first joyful unfurling of the Philippine flag at the Teatro Caviteño in Cavite City. 

Republic Act No. 8491, also known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, extended the celebration into a 16-day observance culminating on Independence Day. It also encourages all government offices, private establishments, and homes to display the Philippine flag during this period. 

In 2019, by virtue of the same law, the National Museum of Fine Arts, formerly the Legislative Building, was included among the historic edifices and landmarks that were entitled to fly the Philippine flag 24/7.

The National Museum of the Philippines is open from Mondays to Sundays, from 9 AM to 6 PM. Admission is 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄.
