23 April 2026 – TSUNEISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES (CEBU), Inc. (THI) participated as a sponsor, together with KAMBARA KISEN Co., Ltd. (KAMBARA KISEN), in the inauguration ceremony of Museo del Galeón in Pasay City, the Philippines. The ceremony brought together members of the museum’s Board of Trustees, sponsoring organisations and distinguished guests at a preview event held prior to the museum’s official opening to the public on 1 May 2026. Some exhibition areas are currently under development and are expected to be opened at a later date.

Conceived from the vision of the late Philippine Senator Edgardo J. Angara, Museo del Galeón presents the Philippines’ rich maritime history and culture, including the Manila–Acapulco Galleon Trade that flourished between the 16th and 19th centuries. Established to preserve and share the country’s maritime heritage with future generations, the museum features a full-scale replica of the 17th century Galeón Espiritu Santo, alongside exhibitions on navigation, trade and maritime industries, as well as interactive programmes introducing visitors to maritime culture and history.

THI participated as a Gold Sponsor of “The Philippines as a Shipbuilding Nation”, an exhibition highlighting the history and development of the Philippine shipbuilding industry. KAMBARA KISEN also joined as a Gold Sponsor of “A Day in the Life of a Seafarer”, an exhibition showcasing the daily lives and work of Filipino seafarers. These sponsored exhibition areas are currently under development and are expected to be made available to the public at a later stage.

Through this sponsorship, THI and KAMBARA KISEN aim to contribute to the preservation of maritime culture and the continued development of the maritime industry. The initiative is also expected to strengthen relationships with the Philippine maritime sector while promoting greater awareness of maritime heritage among future generations.
THI and KAMBARA KISEN will continue to value their relationship with local communities while contributing to the advancement of the maritime industry and the preservation of maritime culture.
