The culture of the Philippines has been greatly influenced by other countries, like for example in our buildings, plazas and other infrastructures. But with the fast pace of economy and technology innovations, it is hard to maintain the most important ones. But Samsung will help us cultivate that culture and history through an exhibit.
Today Samsung and the Philippine Science High School Foundation, Inc. celebrate the richness of Filipino culture and heritage through an exhibit called "The Plazas of Manila" situated at the Yuchengco Museum. It will feature the historical and cultural significance of landmarks of the Philippines. Rediscover our own heritage and culture with the help of Samsung devices like Samsung digital tablet and Smart TV technology.
"The Plazas of Manila" is open from August 27 until September 18 at the Yuchengco Museum with noted architect, designer, and urban planner Paulo Alcazaren as the curator.
Moreover, the exhibit features the Culture Explorer, a mobile app that uses reality technology in order to help people, especially the youth, learn about Manila’s plazas and other cultural and heritage landmarks. The app is virtually a tour guide in one’s pocket, with fresh content and plenty of interesting trivia. It also allows users to navigate around key landmarks and travel back in time to see how the landmark has looked and evolved over the years.
