Share a meal that brings you closer to the person behind the presidency, guided by their descendants and dishes of personal and historical meaning. We've met Emilio Aguinaldo through his great-grandson Angelo Jarin Aguinaldo, Manuel L. Quezon through grandson Manolo Quezon III, and Jose P. Laurel through granddaughter Inday Arcenas-Avancena, with music by great grandson Cocoy Laurel. These intimate dinners take place at Anya Resorts & Spa, with menus curated by Executive Chef Chris Leaning.
Long before Kapihans became common, Dr. Antonio Molina gathered thinkers at the University of Santo Tomas Cooperative to exchange views on history, politics, ethics, and Filipino society. Fundación Santiago keeps that spirit alive through Coffee Break with the Dean, an annual forum honoring Dean Molina. The first session focused on historians’ use of primary sources. The next gathering will explore the Declaration of Philippine Independence 125 years on and will take place at the Museo Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite. The event is open to the public.
