Earlier today, May 30, 2026 at Kinatbalogan City Museum and City Library, we concluded the 2026 National Heritage Month (NHM) this month of May with the activity entitled "𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻: 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲" Lecture and Exhibit.

One of the highlights apart from the lecture was the limited and temporary exhibit of gold heirlooms and rare golden accessories from the personal collection of our Co-Chair of the Local Culture & the Arts Council of Catbalogan City (LCAC), Prof. Jhonil Bajado.

This celebratory culmination ensures that heritage preservation is not treated as a peripheral concern, but rather as an essential, foundational pillar for building community resilience, cultivating local pride, and securing the city's progressive developmental future.

Ngayong Pambansang mga Araw ng Watawat, balikan natin ang kasaysayan ng ating mga pambansang simbolo na, tulad ng bansang kanilang sinasagisag, ay dumaan sa mga pagbabago at sumasalamin sa parehong armado at mapayapang pakikibaka ng ating mga ninuno.

Ang Pambansang Watawat ang masasabing pinakatanyag na simbolo ng ating bansa. Mahalagang malaman natin ang pinagmulan ng ating Pambansang Watawat kasabay ng pagkakamit natin ng kalayaan at kasarinlan noong 1898.
