(SPOT.ph) The 2022 elections were almost three months ago. The polarizing period left a number of people shocked over the results and now that we are in the aftermath, we can only look forward. In spite of all the negative vibes surrounding that time, we can all agree that the spirit of voluntarism surrounding the campaign of then vice-president Leni Robredo was one sure good thing that continues on. Her campaign amassed such a massive and loyal following that following the campaign season, Robredo was shocked to reallize that so much had been given in the name of her campaign. We're sure you saw that cheery Facebook Live with Robredo and her team going through the gifts after the elections.

The items were not just your usual trinkets either—although there were a lot of those as well, they included a lot of artwork, clothing, and other big items. In the video, Robredo showed the public just how huge the collection has gotten and remarked that these items should be placed in a museum—which they later confirmed was to be in the works along with the Angat Buhay NGO. Since its confirmation, fans of Robredo and her brand of servant leadership have been on the watch for its opening. And we finally got our first glimpse on August 4, during its blessing.
Here’s what we know about the Angat Buhay Museum a.k.a. Museo ng Pag-asa:
The Museo ng Pag-asa, along with the Angat Buhay NGO headquarters was blessed last Thursday, August 4. The museum is located at 84 Cordillera, Santa Mesa Heights, Quezon City.
Robredo also took the opportunity to thank artists Toym Leon Imao and Robert Alejandro, both of whom lent their talents in creating murals and designs for the museum. We spotted bright rooms with paintings in Imao's signature dreamlike and vivid style as well as softer-toned murals by Robert Alejandro. The two took to their Facebook pages to share pictures of their works.

While it has not been confirmed officially, there are whispers that the museum is open to the public starting August 8.
