Senator Loren Legarda commended the continued expansion of Sentro Rizal, saying it is a great opportunity to promote cultural exchange among different countries, allowing the rest of the world to further understand and appreciate Filipino culture, arts and language.
Sentro Rizal is the international cultural arm of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. It was recognized by Section 42 of Republic Act 10066 or the National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, which specifies a center “whose main purpose is the promotion of Philippine arts, culture and language throughout the world.”
Speaking at a gathering in Cavite, Legarda explained that Sentro Rizal is a repository of all kinds of material relating to the promotion of Philippine history, arts, culture, language and tourism.
