The Embassy of the Philippines in Canada joins the nation in celebration of the 2023 National Heritage Month. This year’s theme, “Heritage: Change and Continuity”, highlights the dynamic nature of heritage as a field that continuously innovates so it can achieve its objective of preserving products of human creativity.
Promulgated under Presidential Proclamation No. 439, S. 2003, National Heritage Month (NHM) is annually celebrated during the month of May, led by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. It aims to create among the Filipino people a consciousness, respect, and love for the legacies of the nation’s cultural history.
In the face of a never-ending stream of change, the month of May remains a time to look back on and celebrate the Philippines’ rich culture and history.
