Patricia Perez Eustaquio, Imelda Cajipe Endaya, and Kawayan de Guia anchor the permanent exhibition at the Tagpuan / Encuentro Gallery, marking the historic opening of the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) in Baler. Inaugurated on June 30, 2026, for the 24th Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day, this mezzanine gallery serves as the conclusion to the visitor experience. By bringing together contemporary masterpieces from Aurora and across the archipelago, the exhibition invites deep reflection on history, identity, memory, and cultural exchange.

Locus Amoenus, Latin for a "pleasant place" of dreamlike refuge and harmony, serves as the anchor for Ryan Villamael’s upcoming participatory project, Open the Box 2026: Pleasant Place, opening at 1/F, JC Contemporary within Tai Kwun, Hong Kong.
