Bacoor’s Cultural Legacy Strengthened Through Proposed City Library Partnership
In a meaningful step toward preserving Bacoor’s rich cultural heritage, a strategic meeting was held with National Library of the Philippines Director Cesar Gilbert Adriano to discuss the establishment of a Panglungsod na Aklatan (City Library) within the heart of the city’s cultural district—the Sentrong Pangkultura, Sinupan at Museo ng Lungsod ng Bacoor.
This initiative, championed under the banner of #AlagangAteLani, reflects a deep commitment to nurturing education, historical awareness, and community pride. The proposed library is envisioned not merely as a repository of books, but as a dynamic space for learning, storytelling, and civic engagement.
A Collaborative Vision for Cultural Empowerment
– The National Library of the Philippines has pledged technical support and guidance to ensure the library meets national standards and serves the evolving needs of Bacoor’s citizens.
– The location within the city’s cultural center ensures synergy between archival preservation, museum exhibitions, and public access to knowledge.
– The project aims to provide inclusive access to educational resources, digital archives, and local historical materials, especially for students, researchers, and community leaders.
Preserving Heritage, Inspiring Futures
This collaboration underscores the importance of collective action in safeguarding local history and promoting lifelong learning. By integrating the library into Bacoor’s cultural infrastructure, the city strengthens its role as a steward of Filipino identity and values.
As Director Adriano affirmed during the meeting, “Libraries are not just buildings—they are bridges between generations.” With the support of national institutions and the unwavering dedication of local leadership, Bacoor is poised to build a space where stories of resilience, unity, and bayanihan will continue to thrive.
