NATIONAL ARTS MONTH
Closing event

Philippine Normal University
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 4pm

This Saturday, as we perform once again at the Philippine Normal University, we honor our beginnings while stepping boldly into our future. Returning home to where it all began is a celebration of our legacy and a powerful promise of all that PB will continue to build in partnership with PNU.

As we celebrate our 80th Anniversary, this homecoming carries even deeper meaning. For eight decades, PB has stood at the meeting point of performance, education, and cultural research. Returning to PNU is not only symbolic, it reaffirms our roots as an educational and cultural troupe shaped within a national university.

This performance also marks the closing of National Arts Month, making the occasion even more significant. It is a fitting way to honor the arts not only as expression, but as scholarship, discipline, and shared heritage.

As we move forward, we renew our commitment to expanding PB’s educational and research programs, opening more pathways for training, documentation, cultural study, and artistic exchange. From where it all began, we continue the work.

Stronger. Wiser. Still dancing.
