#CulturePH - First in SOX: Alsons Dev Brings The Mind Museum’s Mind Rover Museum-on-Wheels to Avia Estate

The students of Sarangani! Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) has partnered with Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI) and the Conrado and Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation Inc. (CLAFI) to bring The Mind Rover to Avia Estate. This initiative offers public school students an immersive, hands-on science learning experience right in their backyard.

A Day of Discovery

On February 25, 2025, Alsons Dev welcomed around 200 students from various IP-integrated schools in Sarangani Province to explore The Mind Rover at Avia Estate, Alsons Dev’s 121-hectare township in Alabel. This mobile science museum, inspired by The Mind Museum’s five unique galleries—Atom, Life, Earth, Universe, and Technology—provides an engaging and educational experience at no cost to the students.

Interactive Learning

During their visit, students delved into interactive exhibits and enjoyed special screenings of Mind S-Cool TV, a family-friendly show that makes science and the arts fun and engaging. They also toured the Alabel Public Safety and Security Complex, which includes a Fire Substation, Community Police Assistance Center, and Emergency Operations Center built and donated by Alsons Dev.

Cultural Enrichment

While waiting, students had the chance to read CLAFI's Flalok Big Books, a collection of illustrated folklore from the Blaan Indigenous Peoples in Sarangani Province and General Santos. These books preserve traditional Blaan stories, originally passed down orally, by presenting them in written and illustrated forms that reflect Blaan culture.

Empowering Communities

Through this initiative, Alsons Dev reinforces its commitment to empowering Sarangani communities by making transformative learning experiences more accessible and advocating for education as a cornerstone of community development.

A Collaborative Effort

The Mind Rover’s visit to Avia Estate, the first of three stops in the SOX Region, was made possible by BAFI and 2Go, with local partners Alsons Dev and CLAFI, and the support of the Malungon, Malapatan, and Alabel LGUs, Sarangani Energy Corporation, Department of Education - Sarangani Division, and NutriAsia.
