First PNP Female General PBGen. Yolanda G. Tanigue

The Philippine National Police's first female police general, PBGen. Yolanda G. Tanigue has dedicated her career to advocating for the rights of women and children, having founded the PNP Women and Children Protection Center. 


Fondly known as “Aleng Pulis,” she finished an M.A. in Criminology (1986) and a Ph.D. in Criminology (1997) from PCCR. Starting her career as a social worker, she rose through the ranks and played a vital role in shaping policies for vulnerable sectors.


In honor of National Women's Month 2025, with the theme "Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas," PCCR proudly highlights its outstanding alumnae who have made a lasting impact in criminology, public service, education, and beyond.

Alfredo A. Liongoren

(15 January 1944 – 19 February 2025)


Born in Guihulngan, Negros Oriental, “Fred” as he is fondly called, spent his childhood and teenage years in Cotabato where his family had moved. He was first introduced to visual arts through illustrations from comics and magazines. This led him to pursue formal art training at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts where he labored to finish his degree amidst his early successes as an artist.


His recognitions from the Art Association of the Philippines and the Shell National Students Art Competition in the 1960s and 1970s eventually earned him the honor of being part of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen Artists in 1972.


In his long artistic career, Liongoren’s creative expressions ranged in various styles that mostly echoed an array of ideas and moods through the depiction of indigenous elements, natural landscapes, and his critical views on social realities.


Our National Fine Arts Collection is proud to number among its pieces his 1994 opus “Character in Black”, an oil on wood currently on display at the third floor South Wing Hallway Gallery of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

Hilarion “Larry” Henares, Jr.
(10 April 1924 – 14 December 2024)


The National Museum of the Philippines mourns the passing of Mr. Hilarion “Larry” M. Henares, Jr. last December 14, 2024, at the age of 100.


Mr. Henares served as the NMP’s second Chairman of the Board of Trustees, appointed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to succeed Mr. Antonio O. Cojuangco in March 2010.


While Chairman Henares’ term lasted only five months until his courtesy resignation tendered to then newly-elected President Benigno S. Aquino III was accepted in August 2010, it nevertheless saw the approval and launch of far- reaching measures, including bringing new leadership to NMP with the appointment of then-Malacañang Museum head Jeremy Barns as NMP Director; the public unveiling of the restored National Cultural Treasure Una Bulaqueña by Juan Luna; the opening of new permanent exhibitions that still exist to this day at the National Museum of Fine Arts featuring the Far East Bank and Trust Company donation of the works of Juan Luna and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo as well as the Amorsolo family bequest of sketches by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo; and the opening of the once-only exhibition National Cultural Treasures of Philippine Archaeology on the occasion of the declaration of 30 most important archaeological objects in the Philippines that were brought together for display.


The NMP also began the restoration of the Old Senate Session Hall of the former Legislative Building; the significant exhibitions on Philippine biodiversity, collectively known as Sanlaksang Buhay, held at the Museum of the Filipino People (now the National Museum of Anthropology) that would help pave the way for the future National Museum of Natural History; and many other important initiatives that contributed to the progress of the institution in later years.


Chairman Henares will be much missed by his many friends from throughout his long life, including many here at the NMP who remember him with great fondness. The NMP is deeply grateful for his service and contributions and conveys its sincere condolences to his family.

Dr. Analyn A. Cabras

July 17, 1986 – December 7, 2024


With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Dr. Analyn A. Cabras, a beloved member of the scientific community and a dedicated Research Associate at the National Museum of the Philippines – Zoology Division.


Dr. Cabras first visited the museum in late 2022, where she conducted an assessment of the zoological collection. Shortly thereafter, she became a Research Associate, focusing on the curation of Curculionidae, her chosen taxon.


She made significant contributions to the museum by initiating a functional reference collection of weevils, which will serve as an invaluable resource for future researchers and enthusiasts alike. Her passion for her work was evident in all that she did, and her meticulous research greatly enhanced our understanding of these fascinating creatures.


In addition to her work with the Weevil collection, Dr. Cabras played a vital role in publishing numerous research papers, helping to elevate the standards of academic scholarship within our institution. Her commitment to fostering knowledge and sharing her expertise inspired her colleagues and many students.


Dr. Cabras’s legacy will endure through the impact she made and the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, but her contributions to the field and her unwavering spirit will forever remain an integral part of our museum’s story. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
