Welcome to the San Beda Alabang Museum
Here’s a quickie announcement that will interest graduates of San Beda College Alabang (Bene to the likes of me who are getting on in years, hehehe), and hopefully non-Bedans as well. Last Thursday, December 12th, the San Beda Alabang Museum was inaugurated and officially opened to the public.
The museum features permanent panels chronicling the history of SBCA, all the way from their roots in Surigao, Arlegui, and Mendiola, to the development of the school in its present location (back when that area was still considered part of Rizal). There is also the International Christmas Cribs Exhibit, a temporary display of various nativity scenes in all sorts of materials, taken from around the world, in keeping with the holiday season (this will run until January 27 next year).
While arrangements are still being finalized for public access to the museum (you have to enter the Alabang Hills gates, after all, before you can get there), residents of Alabang Hills and regular churchgoers and visitors can already drop by to check it out. The museum is open on weekdays from 8 to 5 and from 8 to 12 on Saturdays. (If you’re wondering why this article sounds a bit dry and not at all like my usual effusive posts, I’m trying to be objective here, since I had a hand in the whole thing, hehe; I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves.). You can find out more by calling Mina at 842-3511, or going to see it yourself.

This is, indeed, wonderful news for Bedans! Am intrigued…where exactly is it? And what’s in it, aside from photos of old people and statues of dead people? Hahaha! The statue sa welcoming party - that was the one in the rotonda before, di ba? I always wondered what happened to that one… :)
yep, that’s the one… did you know it’s by the same artist who made the huge mama mary atop the edsa shrine? they kept it outside the chapel for a while after they replaced it at the rotonda.
in addition to the permanent exhibit (which will soon have more artifacts like documents, ids, uniforms, etc, aside from the dead people), there will be various temporary exhibits (like the cribs) featuring all sorts of artwork.
the museum is also being planned as a venue for events like poetry reading, acoustic shows, and other fun stuff. :)
ay, forgot to tell you where it is… it’s in the grade school area, near the registrar; pag pasok mo sa gate 4, enter the lobby and turn right. :)
I am always at Bene and I’ve never heard that a museum was being built/developed! Thanks for the information! Are they publicizing the museum’s existence already? And will it be open during the Christmas break since Beda’s supposed to be a closed campus during this time?
alright! thanks for posting an article about san beda museum in alabang. At last, i have an idea how it looks like :) I wasn’t avle to participate in the opening of the museum kasi.
Thanks again. Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Nice article for the SBCA Museum. Hats off to Sir Joseph, Bettina aka Betty? hahahahaha, and the others!
Am looking forward for the coffee table plus the book to be launched on February containing old stuffs produced by the students way back 35 years ago.
Another Bedan pride!

hi ben,
sorry ngayon ko lang nasagot, since the holidays are almost over, medyo moot na ang sagot ko, but i think they didn’t open nung break anyway.
carlo, ben, and ruthie
come visit para makita nyo in the flesh. :)
ruthie,
yay, malapit na yung coffee table book! :) sana matapos, hahaha!
gate four, near the grade school area then turn right? ito yung dating admin/registrar office nila di ba? yung may parang shortcut papuntang guidance office?
LOL. miss ko na ang bene. it’s been ages since I last went there.
Pero at least now, I’ll be dropping by again.
I’m super excited and curious about the museum.
oohhh wow, thanks for posting this. it brings back fond memories of good ‘ol Bene days. to think I haven’t been there since time immemorial.
now may reason na to go back to bene… nakakamiss yung “gate 4 and rotonda”. Gotta see this!
I’ve just visited the south recently sayang di ko nabasa and article na ito otherwise i would have ask my uncle to take me to bene…miss ko na tuloy ang bene
I want to see the museum! sana bukas pa :)
hey bedans!
yes, the musuem is still open (i think, hehehe). there’s a poster announcing a new exhibit on modern art i think. i really should drop by soon, too. panay weekend lang ako nandun pag mass, so the museum is closed.
shao, malapit na kaming dumalaw uli! maghanda na ang fiorgelato!
Wow.. so proud!!! UIOGD
