To commemorate the centennial anniversary of Philippine independence from the Spanish, the Filipino community of Chicago and the Centennial Commission in the Republic of the Philippines assembled an exhibit entitled Voyage of a Nation: The Philippines.  The exhibit which contains videos, a timeline,   artifacts, and personal photos, recalls the history of the Filipino people from early Spanish colonialism to the immigration of Filipinos to the United States and the experiences of first generation Filipino-Americans.  The exhibit is divided into 5 sections:  Moments in a Common Century, The Southern Philippines, The Central Philippines, The Northern Philippines, and Filipino-American Identity.
