CEBU CITY – Step back in time and experience Sugbuanon culture at "Gabii Sa Kabilin" (GSK) on May 12, 2023 as the event returns this year in time for the National Heritage Month with 22 museum partners, new exhibits, and elevated improvements on the GSK night complimenting this year’s theme, “Pagpanag-iya” (Owning our Story).
GSK’s theme. “Pagpanag-iya” (Owning our Story) which commemorates the upcoming 125th Anniversary of the Philippine Independence will be showcased on how Filipinos were able to manipulate the trappings of colonialism to serve the interests as a people, and how they asserted their right to tell the story, Baumgart explained.
Many assume that the colonial
projects undertaken in the country would gradually subsume, if not erase, the
native way of life. However, this year’s theme highlights how the ancestors
asserted their independence, their identity and sense of community, despite the
corrosive nature of colonialism to serve the people’s interests, Baumgart
added.
