In celebration of 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines, the Archdiocese of Cebu and SM’s malls in Cebu recently showcased a series of exhibits highlighting art, heritage, and the Filipino faith.
SM City Cebu transports the faithful back in time with “Mga Hulagway sa Pagtuo” at the Northwing Atrium in partnership with the Smart Communications, Inc, and InnoPub Media.
With a replica of a Spanish colonial church as a centerpiece, Panaw sa Pagtuo uses advanced digital tools such as quick response (QRs) codes and virtual reality (VR) devices to allow visitors to experience Cebu’s religious treasures in one setting.
The QR codes are equipped with rich multimedia contents; whereas the VR videos transport guests to Cebu’s beautiful and grand stone churches.
Shoppers can also download the Panaw sa Pagtuo application though Apple App Store, Google App Store, and Huawei App Gallery. The mobile app contains all exhibit materials that can be accessed at the venue which will serve as an exhibit guide and companion.
Also at SM City Cebu are Marian and Santo Nino exhibits with paintings and images of the Blessed Mother and the Christ Child.
SM Seaside City Cebu, on the other hand, features the “Filipino Faith through the hands of Cebuano Artists”, an exhibit featuring religious art works by talented Cebuano Artists.
The 500 Years of Christianity Exhibits were held at The Northwing Atrium of SM City Cebu and at the Upper Ground Floor, City Wing of SM Seaside City Cebu.
