The Kontra Punto video project showcases the dedication of “a small monument built on a solid stand with a big story to tell” on September 8, 2021. This is to honor the efforts of the people who stood up for our freedom, sovereignty, nature, and patrimony which is our true wealth as a nation. It is part of The 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines (2021 QCP), a series of commemorations marking the 500th anniversary of the role of the country in the Magellan–Elcano circumnavigation, and the victory of Lapulapu in the Battle of Mactan.
