'Pulang Araw,' OPM, P-pop music among Filipino cultural works to be sent to the moon

As reported by GMA News reporter Nelson Canlas on "24 Oras" last Wednesday, the Kapuso wartime series "Pulang Araw" has made a groundbreaking history as the first and only Filipino TV show to be part of the Lunar Codex's time capsule set for the moon.

The series is included in the Polaris Collection, which will be part of the Lunar Codex project, a curated archive of cultural works from across the globe, launched via the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Artemis and Commercial Lunar Payload Services' (CLPS) program partners.

According to its official website, Lunar Codex is a project by Incadence Corp., designed to preserve artistic and cultural creations for future generations. All works included have been archived with the creators' permission, and copyrights remain with their respective owners.
