The exhibit is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday until 15 August 2023 at the Museo ni Emilio Aguinaldo.

Also present at the event were Cavite Representatives Jolo B. Revilla III and Crispin Diego Remulla; Kawit Mayor Angelo Emilio G. Aguinaldo , Kawit Vice Mayor Edward R.
