USC hosts Mangyan heritage exhibit
USC hosts Mangyan heritage exhibit
The University Museum opened today a weeklong exhibit on the Mangyans of Mindoro at the new covered court of the Main Campus (beside the museum) under the sponsorship of the Mangyan Heritage Center (MHC). Marlene Socorro Samson, museum curator, and University officials led by academic planning head Fr. Dr. Dionisio Miranda, SVD and Arts and Sciences dean Dr. Elizabeth Remedio, led dignitaries and guests at the opening program at 9 a.m. Also in attendance were members of the Visayas Association of Museums and Galleries Inc. led by Msgr. Carlito Pono.
The exhibit, entitled: "Mangyans of Mindoro: Myth and Meaning", is a traveling exhibition that showcases photographs, videos and the cultural materials of the Mangyan, an indigenous group comprising about 100,000 in the island of Mindoro. The exhibit runs until November 17 and will be highlighted by a lecture of renowned Mangyan scholar Dr. Antoon Postma, an anthropologist and former SVD missionary now living and working among and with the Mangyans. The Mangyans are only one of four indigenous groups in the Philippines that still use the baybayin, the syllabry that predates the Spanish period by centuries.
A small shop where the public can purchase crafts and beadwork made by Mangyans has been set up within the exhibition area. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
