Gabii sa Kabilin (Night of Heritage) is an adaptation of Germany’s Lange Nacht der Museen (Long Night of Museums), which has become an anticipated event in more than 120 cities in Europe and in South America.

As its name suggests, Gabii sa Kabilin does not only feature museums but also heritage sites where guests can enjoy and participate in cultural shows, exhibits, art fairs, food markets, and children’s activities.

In 2007, the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (RAFI), with its partner museums, staged the first Gabii sa Kabilin in Cebu City, making it the first, and until today, the only metropolis in the Asia-Pacific Region to hold such an event. Mandaue City joined the cultural heritage event in 2010. From four museums in its first run, Gabii sa Kabilin has expanded to 22 participating museums and cultural heritage sites this year.

A Cebuano tradition in the making, Gabii sa Kabilin is held every last Friday of May in celebration of the Philippines’ National Heritage Month and the International Museums Day (IMD), which falls on May 18.

Gabii sa Kabilin 2012 takes on the challenge of IMD’s and the National Heritage Month’s themes this year: “Museums in a changing world, new inspirations and challenges” and “Taoid: crossing, caring and carrying on,” respectively.

Gabii sa Kabilin will take place on May 25, 2012 from 6 pm to 12 midnight.

Tour Mechanics

One ticket worth PhP150 gives participants the freedom to go to as many museums and heritage sites included in the Gabii sa Kabilin circuit as they want and enjoy their cultural shows and exhibits from 6 p.m. to 12 midnight. They may also use the ticket to take unlimited rides in Gabii sa Kabilin dedicated buses and tartanillas (horse drawn carriages) in Cebu City’s old district.

Participants get to join several activities and savor local cuisine at affordable prices. They can also shop for souvenirs and other merchandise as they tour museums and heritage sites throughout the night.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ‘97, Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. 
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own
meandering experience. 
I will dispense this advice now. 
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh never mind, you will never understand the power and the beauty of your youth until they’ve faded.
But trust me, in twenty years, you will look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as affective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blindsides you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday. 
Do one thing every day that scares you. 
Sing. 
Don’t be reckless with other peoples’ hearts; don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. 
Don’t waste your time on jealously, sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. 
The race is long and in the end, it’s only with yourself. 
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults. 
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. 
Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements. 
Stretch. 
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, 
some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. 
Be kind to knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. 
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. 
Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. 
Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the “Funky Chicken” on your 75th wedding anniversary. 
Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. 
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. 
Enjoy your body. 
Use it every way you can, don’t be afraid of it or what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own. 
Dance. 
Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room. 
Read the directions even if you don’t follow them. 
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. 

Brother and sister together will make it through, 
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there, 
I know you’ve been hurting, but I’ve been waiting to be there for you 
And I’ll be there just helping you out, whenever I ca-a-an 

Get to know your parents. 
You never know when they’ll be gone for good. 
Be nice to your siblings. 
They are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. 
Understand that friends come and go. 
But a precious few, who should hold on. 
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, for as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. 
Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. 
Travel. 
Accept certain alible truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old and when you do, you’ll fanaticise that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. 
Respect your elders. 
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. 
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse but you’ll never know when either one will run out. 
Don’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re forty, it will look eighty-five. 
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. 
Advice is a form of nostalgia. 
Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it’s worth. 
But trust me on the sunscreen. 

Everybody’s Free, oh yeah, to feel good, ohhhhh, to feel good.
