Philippines Ethnographic Weapons Museum

Just recently the National Museum in Manila opened up "The War and Dissent" exhibit...the entire focus is of the early US colonization of the Philippines from 1898 to 1915. This is a temporary exhibit that will run from Dec to March 2010. It would be great to start off something similar to this in the Philippines with the help of the National Museum. First as a temporary exhibit, and if it is successful, then possibly as a permanent exhibit. Maybe feature weapons similar to the display at the Macao exhibit. Other museums that may be interested to help with a weapons exhibit would probably be the Lopez Museum and the GSIS Museum. GSIS is the government building that houses several paintings and historical artifacts...plus they are located on government grounds for added security.
