The National Museum of the Philippines will officially inaugurate the Lapulapu monument at its new location along Maria Orosa Street in Rizal Park, Manila, on May 18, coinciding with International Museum Day.
The ceremony will also unveil a new marker recognizing the museum complex as the Pambansang Museo ng Pilipinas.
Previously located at Agripina Circle, the monument was relocated to a more accessible site to increase visibility for visitors.
The P28-million monument, a gift from the Korean Freedom League, honors Filipino soldiers who fought in the Korean War and commemorates Lapulapu’s heroism.
Former Senator Richard Gordon, guest of honor at the event, highlighted the monument’s symbolism of Filipino resistance and patriotism across history.
