Date Launch: July 18, 2012

It was very fitting that Diwata’s launch at the Ayala Museum, which gathered mining industry leaders and stakeholders, showcased the museum’s “Gold of Ancestors” exhibit which features archaeological gold objects and celebrates the indigenous cultures that flourished before the Spanish colonization of the country. Diwata sought to show that, even in pre-colonial times, the Philippines’ strategic location and its rich natural resources made it culturally and economically significant among South and East Asian civilizations.
