The Main Building and the Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) are bathed in vibrant purple this March in observance of National Women’s Month. Purple, the official color of National Women’s Month, symbolizes justice, dignity, and unwavering commitment to the advancement of women’s rights.

Through this light display, the CCP honors the significant contributions of Filipino women across various fields. The purple illumination serves as both a tribute and a call for continued advocacy for gender equality and women empowerment.

“The vibrant glow illuminating the CCP this Women’s Month is more than just an impressive show. This initiative aims to inspire reflection and appreciation for the vital role women play in shaping the nation’s history and culture. It serves as a powerful reminder of CCP’s commitment to women empowerment and gender equality not only in the field of arts, but even beyond,” said CCP president Kaye Tinga.

Produced by the creative staff of the Production Design and Technical Services Division, the CCP light show uses Parabolic Aluminized Reflector 64 lighting fixtures.

By highlighting these achievements, the CCP promotes Philippine culture and values, using expressive arts to engage a wide audience.

The CCP Main Building and TIG’s light show runs from 1 to 31 March, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. daily, except Mondays.
