BOAC CATHEDRAL. In celebration of National Heritage Month, the #NationalMuseumPH
Marinduque-Romblon Area Museum invites you to a free webinar entitled “Usapang Pamana:
Boac Cathedral” on May 25, 2022, 9AM-11AM via Zoom Meeting.

The webinar aims to raise public awareness on the significance of Boac Cathedral and inspire
appreciation of its historical and cultural importance.

An important cultural property (ICP), Boac Cathedral is a built-heritage constructed in 1792. It is
located at the top of the hill of Brgy. Mataas na Bayan in Marinduque’s capital town. The 230-
year-old Baroque church has survived several earthquakes and wars. It has adobe walls and
fortresses. Boac Cathedral, also known as the Immaculate Conception Parish Church, played
an essential role in religious and significant historical events of the province.

The church was a spiritual sanctuary and a refuge for the community, especially during the
pirate attacks in the 18 th Century. To date, Boac Cathedral symbolizes the province’s religiosity,
as expressed in the sea of devotees that join the yearly Moryonan every Holy Week. The
National Museum declared Boac Cathedral an ICP in 2018 for its “exceptional cultural, artistic,
and /or historical significance” to the Philippines.

LET’S LEARN FROM THE CULTURE BEARERS. The #NationalMuseumPH – Eastern Northern Mindanao invites you to a demonstration on “Tuhog” or Manobo beadwork on 28 and 29 May 2022, Saturday and Sunday, from 9 am to 4 pm.

The two-day demonstration will be conducted on-site following the minimum health protocols required by the quarantine status of the Butuan City.

As we celebrate National Heritage Month 2022, with the theme, “PAMANANG LOKAL: Binhi ng Kulturang Pilipino”, your NM-Eastern Northern Mindanao aims to highlight one of the living traditions of the Manobo in Agusan, the making of ornaments such as headdresses, necklaces, and bracelets through “tuhog” or beadwork.
This activity will engage the public, especially elementary and high school students on the tangible and intangible heritage of the Agusan Manobo. This is also to acknowledge and support the role of culture bearers in the transmission and preservation of our heritage.

Aside from the sharing and demonstrations, they will also bring for sale items to be displayed in a designated area at the museum lobby.

This activity is in collaboration with the NMP-Gender and Development Focal Point System (GAD-FPS), NMP Ethnology Division, National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP)-Caraga, and Butuan City Council for Culture, Heritage and the Arts.

For further queries on the activity, email us at nationalmuseumbutuan@gmail.com or call and text us at 09190779854.

See you and let us learn together how the Manobo make their colorful beaded ornaments!
