As we celebrate this Advent Season, let us remember the true essence of Christmas. It's not just about parties, gift-giving, and extravagant decorations. We celebrate Christmas to commemorate the birth of the Baby Jesus in a manger. His birth serves as a reminder of simplicity, as seen in the nativity scene, and emphasizes the importance of LOVE for our family and those around us. In addition, it reminds us never to lose HOPE because we have a rescuing God.

This animation was created by the Grade 12 TVL Animation students of Don Vicente Rama Memorial National High School in Cebu City.

We would like to thank the following students for their contributions:

- Eva Mae A. Cerenio
- Shynn O. Limosnero
- James Kenneth P. Villarosa
- Jian P. Balatero

The Cultural and Historical Affairs Office of Cebu City joins the nation in celebrating the Museum and Galleries Month 2025, anchored on the theme “𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆.”

This observance renews our commitment to safeguard and preserve our heritage.

On the eve of this celebration, Cebu was struck by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake that caused severe damage to many of our cherished heritage churches, sites, and structures and deeply affected the lives of our fellow Cebuanos.

This tragedy stands as a solemn reminder of the importance of resilience, preparedness, and solidarity in protecting our cultural treasures.

Together, let us honor the collective memory of our people and strengthen our cultural institutions for generations to come.
