It vows to assist the member schools of the System in the core areas of teaching, research, community outreach, and administration.Through active collaboration with other museums in the nation, it promotes the interests of museology and upholds appreciation of the arts and culture.

  • The Pink Sisters Chapel & Convent - In the age where everything is almost replaced by modernity and stylishness, faith is still something that is likely planted in the heart of most of the Filipinos. Praying is a practice that has never been old. But there is one thing that one may get amused of – it’s the fact that those who are praying, in the persons of nuns, are actually wearing pink. Of all the colors and in spite of their simplicity, why pink? But more than the amusement in witnessing the faith of these pink sisters while they are praying in the chapel is the assurance that they are with you in prayers by reading your petitions (there are available pen and paper and just drop them in a box). By the way, you can only see them praying but you would not be able to talk to them.

The chapel and the praying nuns are the highlights of this destination. However, what makes the place so ideal for meditation is its entirety – the surroundings with pine trees, the greenish garden, the pathways and statues of faith. True enough, those people who have visited the place is more likely to comment “heaven on earth” and “very solemn.”
