Mission/Vision
Education liberates the mind and allows it to realize its full potential in creative, critical and free thinking. However, experience is the catalyst for the achievement of this noble goal.
Nayong Pilipino-Clark aims to educate not only Filipinos, but also foreign nationals by providing a unique way of understanding and experiencing the beauty of Philippine culture, history and independence.
An awareness of one’s roots is paramount in understanding what made the Filipinos a nation of independence and cultural recognition. Thus, the park aims to enlighten the eager public by presenting itself as a living museum. One can experience how the ancestors lived in the pre-colonial era and how they continued on, as a people, into the colonial era. To enhance this experience, lectures are offered for the purpose of further distinguishing the Filipinos as a people who have kept their identity and who have struggled for their independence to be recognized despite foreign influences and change.
The park aims to make the experiences as authentic as possible. Attention is paid to details such as the original architectural construction and materials used in building the Ifugao and Kalinga huts. Masses are even conducted in the Barasoan Church replica, the original being a place where great minds convened and their efforts blessed in pursuing Philippine independence.
The park also aims to follow a monthly theme to showcase the different Philippine festivals, traditional Filipino music and dances, food, arts and crafts. This will give each visitor a more animated and indelible experience of the Philippines.
The park is well capable of hosting different functions and events, such as seminars and weddings including accommodations in the form of cottages. These allow visitors to enjoy the rustic charm of the “barrio” life and will be their private sanctuary.
Since education and life is a continuing process, an information center and library is devoted to continuing research on Philippine history. |
