In November 6, 1972, Presidential Decree 37 was passed by then President Ferdinand Marcos to create Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF). Forty-five hectares and nine thousand square meters (45.9 hectares) of land in Pasay was given to NPF, a portion of whihc stood the Nayong Pilipino Cultural Park. On June 26, 2002, then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (PGMA) issued Executive Order 11 ordering the NPF to close and seize operations. It was in 2006 that NPF established its presence at the Clark Expo site in Pampanga. On April 2, 2007, PGMA issued Executive Order NO. 615 obliging the transfer of NPF to the Philippine Reclamation Authority's property in Parañaque. It was on September 29, 2011 when then President Benigno Aquino Jr. issued Executive Order No. 58, ordering the NPF property to be transferred to Manila International Airport Authority. He then signed on March 2012, the Memorandum of Agreement between NPF and Clark Development Corporation to redevelop NPF's foundation park in Clark Freeport Zone. The park was inaugurated in 2014.
To be a living reminder of the Philippines’ rich cultural and natural heritage, promoting public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment through programs that ensure the commemorative integrity of our country’s history for present and future generations.
