Yesterday, I was privileged to attend the lecture on The American Imperium in the Philippines in Text and Urban Design: The 1905 Report on Proposed Improvments in Manila by Prof. Ian Morley of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It was held at the Malacañang Museum and Library.
I started my day with a cuppa at Starbucks.
Then, it was time for the lecture and tour. It was my first time at the Malacañang Palace, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I also learned heaps from the lecture. Concepts like alterity and history as futurology were discussed, and I realized that how much we appreciate and value space depends on how we prioritize our well-being.
I will let these photos speak for themselves, as I had a wonderful day. I hope that I will be able to return to Malacañang someday.
