Aquino Center and Museum reopens with new exhibits and photobook

The Aquino Center and Museum in Tarlac City reopened on February 24, 2025, coinciding with the 39th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution.

Managed by the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF), the museum preserves the legacies of the Aquino family through memorabilia of Ninoy Aquino, Cory Aquino, and Noynoy Aquino.

The museum reopened with the theme "Pamana nina Ninoy, Cory, at Noynoy: Laban para sa Kalayaan, Demokrasya, at Dangal ng Bayan" after a two-year renovation.

New exhibits include Ninoy Aquino's clothes from his arrival in the Philippines and the events leading up to his assassination, as well as a section dedicated to the 1987 Constitution.

A new 200-page photobook on the presidency of Noynoy Aquino, titled "PNoy: Filipino," was launched during the event and will be available to the public in March.

NCAF president Raphael Lopa stated the museum and photobook launch were timed to counter the undermining of truth and to highlight the Aquinos' contributions to restoring freedom, democracy, and good governance.

Independent senatorial candidate Bam Aquino led a guided tour for youth and online influencers at the museum on February 25, 2025.

The photobook "PNoy: Filipino" features photos from the archives of Noynoy Aquino's close-in photographer Gil Nartea and other palace photographers, accompanied by anecdotes edited by journalist Thelma Sioson San Juan.
