October is Museums and Galleries Month!
History should not repeat itself and should always be remembered. Museums and galleries serve as the home of memories that will narrate stories and events from the past. They are a dedicated space for the works of many artists, inventions of our scientists, discoveries and findings of archeologists, and specimens such as fossils and artifacts from antiquity.
In our country, the University of Santo Tomas Museum was considered the oldest existing museum in the Philippines, was formally established in 1869, to comply with the 1865 Reglamento de Segunda Ensenanza that required all first-class colleges to have a Museo de Historia Natural. Initially located in Intramuros, the UST Museum was later transferred to its present site at the paraninfo of the UST Main Building, built in 1928 in the Sampaloc district of Manila.
Moreover, The Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management (ICCEM) of Central Luzon State University also has a museum. A natural history and biodiversity museum dedicated to different ecosystems in the Philippines. In celebration of #MGM2022, the institute will re-launch the newly renovated The ICCEM Museum (TIM) in the 4th quarter of 2022.
This year' #MGM2022 theme "Embracing Uncertainty: Showcasing Solidarity, Hope, and Recovery" honors the resilience and resourcefulness of the Filipino in overcoming the global pandemic as it moves forward to a new normal.

Rafflesia consueloae is a parasitic plant species of the genus Rafflesia that is endemic to the island of Luzon, Philippines. Its small blooms, upright perigone lobes, and distinctively cream-white disk surface, which is often devoid of processes, set it apart from all other Rafflesia species. Its small blossoms, with an average of 9.73 cm in diameter when fully grown, make it the smallest of the world's largest flowers.
Accidentally discovered in Pantabangan-Carranglan Watershed Forest Reserve (PCWFR) in Nueva Ecija, the Rafflesia consueloae was dubbed as the world's smallest Rafflesia flower. Unfortunately, it was already considered "critically endangered" due to forest degradation and development in PCWFR. (Paz-Alberto et al., 2015).

DID YOU KNOW THAT?
One of the endemic species that can only be found in the forest ecosystems of Zambales is the TAPULAO SHREW RAT.
Illegal settlement and unsustainable utilization of resources by local communities have degraded Mt. Tapulao (Rivera and Paz-Alberto, 2020). Current misguided and disorganized ecotourism activities have also negative effects in the area obliging the local government to establish the mountain as a critical habitat strictly following the Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Act.
