We were excited when word first came out about Museo ng Pag-Asa. Robredo’s presidential campaign was fun and electric, and I know many people had such high hopes during the elections and were still looking for ways to cope with the defeat and how the country is changing. I think the creation of the museum makes people feel that their hopes and voices are still heard.
We didn’t go to the museum immediately when it opened. We suspected there was bound to be a lot of people then, so we opted to visit months later to avoid the crowds.
We booked tickets via Ticket2Me. Visiting the museum is free; it’s just that timed entry is needed so they can make sure that there’s a manageable number of guests.
The displays are extremely elaborate, featuring people’s artwork, campaign materials, merchandise made by supporters, letters from children and voters, and more. As expected, the museum is a great way to relive the magic and joy of Robredo’s campaign and to give people hope that a better Philippines is still possible.
