For your information, part of the BSP’s Gold Collection has been shown in Europe twice: the first was in the 1990s and the second in 2013 at the Museé du quai Branly in Paris in partnership with the French Government. In Paris, visitors were amazed at the sophistication and artistry of our precolonial gold ornaments.
Indeed, we at the BSP believe that our cultural properties promote better understanding and appreciation of our evolution as a nation. Among Filipinos, this serves as a powerful catalyst for instilling a strong sense of national identity and love of country, attributes that foster social stability and economic growth.
