DOST-NRCP Values the Preservation of the Country’s Most Intangible Heritage - Music

If at present we know only bits and pieces of what are expressive of our collective community as Visayans, then it matters very much that we begin the collection, documentation, music transcription/notation and possibly provision of the historical background and analysis of what makes Visayan song distinctive and expressive of the Visayan spirit. - Dr. Hope S. Yu, Chair, DOST-NRCP Division of Humanities

As part of the Visayan collective memory, every song they sing or write from the past and perform for the present connect to their roots and lays the path to the future.

The Department of Science and Technology-National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP), in partnership with the University of San Carlos (USC) Cebuano Studies and DOST Regional Office No. VII, will hold the Visayas Policy Forum to present the policy insights and recommendations of Dr. Yu’s project entitled, “A Comprehensive Compilation of Extant Cebuano Songs with Music Transcription and Analysis” on November 20, 2019 at Dingman Conference Hall, University of San Carlos – Talamban Campus, Cebu City
