The “Gabii Sa Kabilin” (Night of Heritage) is a program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. Culture & Heritage unit, in partnership with the different heritage sites in Cebu. This year is the 10th run of Gabii Sa Kabilin that will happen on May 27, 2-16 from 6PM to midnight.
Inspired by the Long Night of Museums in Germany and other European countries, the Gabii Sa Kabilin aims, among others, to encourage the public to visit museums, preserve Cebu’s rich culture and heritage, develop an understanding that museums can also be venues for live cultural activities among Cebuanos, and break the misconception that museums are mere repositories of “dead” objects.
This year, the heritage event features 41 destinations in the cities of Cebu, Talisay, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.
