QC wants to require students to visit new museum

This might cause some interesting reactions.

“The Quezon City government will require public and private school students to visit the soon to be inaugurated city museum at the Quezon Memorial Circle,” reports Rhodina Villanueva in The Philippine Star.

Aside from “enhancing awareness of the city’s history and development among the youth,” Mayor Herbert Bautista said the move is expected to “boost the city’s income.”

As such, he added, “We are planning to include private schools in the implementation of the new ordinance for field trips to discover the various structures and destinations that the city has been constructing, such as the high-tech QC Museum.”

Around 400 public schools and 150 private schools are located in Quezon City.

The report noted: “Bautista then disclosed the possible acquisition of a property adjacent to the Tandang Sora Shrine where another museum will be built.”
