Gabii sa Kabilin 2025 Blossoms at 18 with a ‘Youthful’ Vibe

As Gabii sa Kabilin (GSK) marks its 18th year in 2025, the beloved heritage event embraces a fresh, dynamic theme that highlights the power of young Cebuanos in shaping history, culture, and the arts this May.

This year’s theme, “Batan-ong Bahandi”, shines a spotlight on the energy, idealism, and innovative spirit of the youth—qualities that, when nurtured, shape them into the rightful heirs of the country’s cultural and historical legacy.

In a fitting parallel, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines has also declared 2025 as the Year of Youth in Philippine History, commemorating the 150th birth anniversaries of Emilio Jacinto, Gregorio del Pilar, and Gregoria de Jesus—icons of youthful bravery and patriotism.

Beyond its signature museum and heritage site tours, this year’s Gabii sa Kabilin extends its mission by hosting talks and workshops designed to help preserve Cebu’s tangible and intangible cultural treasures in a contemporary setting. Participating sites in Cebu, Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, and Talisay are encouraged to engage audiences across generations, ensuring that heritage appreciation remains relevant and alive.

So, whether you’re a curious first-timer or a long-time history buff, Gabii sa Kabilin 2025 invites you to rediscover Cebu’s rich heritage with fresh eyes and youthful enthusiasm.
