Being a child, learning and having fun

Last March 9 ASPROFIL organized a field trip for our most participative kids. Despite Antipolo is around 20km from Manila, the trip was a bit tiring for the children... The road, traffic, hot weather... Yes, you know... But once they got inside the hundred-year-old building of Museo Pambata and faced the big head of Ms. Digestion, they easily recovered their energy. They were ready to get in to her mouth!

In cooperation with Museo Pambata, we were able to bring eleven kids to visit the Philippines' premier children's museum. Ms. Noreen and the museum's team were very kind to reserve a slot for us and even include a fire prevention session held within the framework of the Fire Prevention Month.



Human body, environment and history among others, are part of this interactive museum. A place for the younger ones (as well as the young at heart) to learn and have fun with customs, games, a sledge and even an old tram!

ASPROFIL kids enjoyed playing in the market, being a fire fighter, learning more about insects and animals, imagining how will you look with different kind of skins and talking with Filipino historical figures as Andrés Bonifacio, José Rizal or Juan Luna.

A day when together they learned and played, had fun as every kid deserves.

"Santacruzan". Save the date!

ASPROFIL was born as a a cultural association that promotes Filipino culture and good image in Spain and also Spanish culture and tradition in the Philippines. 

Within this framework, ASPROFIL, with the collaboration of the Provincial Government of Rizal and the City Government of Antipolo, is organizing the 1st ASPROFIL Santacruzan. 

Santacruzan is an historical and religious festival celebrated in honor of Virgin Mary which was introduced by the Spaniards and became part of the Filipino tradition, being considered one of the most important festivals in the country. According to history, this tradition dates back to the epic journey of St. Helena of Constantinople, mother of Emperor Constantine I (the first Roman Emperor converted to Christianity), to find the True Cross of Jesus Christ. 

The 1st ASPROFIL Santacruzan will take place next Friday, May 25 at 4.30 PM from Rizal Provincial Capitol to Antipolo City Cathedral.

Save the date!

We already saved the date in our Centro ASPROFIL calendar.
