Early this month, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and South Korea’s Andong Festival Tourism Foundation (AFTF) came together for the World Mask Exhibit at SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.

“Culture always unites people,” said NCCA chairman Felipe de Leon at the opening of the exhibit. AFTF chairman Lee Byung Chand and members of both agencies were present at the event as well, a testament in itself to the task of strengthening ties between the Philippines and South Korea through cultural enrichment projects between the Philippines’ NCCA and South Korea’s global promotive agency AFTF. AFTF is based in Andong City, known as SoKor’s “roofless museum” because of its many intact cultural treasures and traditions.
