Current Senate home gets facelift

The present Senate building's hallways will be adorned with paintings from the National Museum and Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), as Congress gears up for the resumption of the third regular session starting today right before President Marcos' State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Senate President Francis Escudero clarified that there is no cost to the improvements, as the Senate entered into an agreement with the National Museum and CCP to showcase their paintings.

"Many people visit the Senate; I hope they treat the Senate walls as an art gallery. I hope we do the same in the new building when we move there. I will request that they use the walls of the Senate as a gallery for the people to see the work created by the artists," Escudero said in an interview over dzBB.

He noted that they are also planning to hold a painting competition, to be supervised by the National Museum, so that the works of Filipino artists can be featured in the new building.
