Supreme Court (SC) justices and legal leaders joined the Foundation for Liberty and Prosperity for the capsule-laying ceremony of the Museum for Liberty and Prosperity at the Versailles Palace Alabang Clubhouse.

Led by Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo and retired Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban, the ceremony marked the initial step toward constructing the facility on a 3,350-square-meter property in Alabang Global City donated by State Properties Corp.

The museum, set to open in 2030, will be developed in partnership with the Supreme Court and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas as an interactive space for civic education, tourism and legal scholarship.

Panganiban, who founded the FLP in 2011, described the project as the birth of a long-held dream for an artificial intelligence-powered, immersive museum dedicated to the philosophy that liberty and economic prosperity must coexist under the rule of law.

The buried time capsule included the Alabang Global City master plan, architectural blueprints of the museum, and commemorative coins and banknotes issued for the Supreme Court’s 125th anniversary.

Attending the ceremony were Senior Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen, Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda, retired Senior Associate Justice Estela M. Perlas-Bernabe, former BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco Jr., BSP Monetary Board Member Benjamin E. Diokno, and Solicitor General Darlene Marie B. Berberabe.

In his remarks, Gesmundo praised the foundation’s evolution from a single vision into a broader movement supporting young legal professionals and scholars across the country.

“FLP is ultimately about people,” Gesmundo said. “It is about believing in the potential of the next generation.”
