According to Councilor Edward S. Tiongco, the objective International Museum Day in the City of Santa Rosa is the rehabilitation and development of the Museo de Santa Rosa.

The Santa Rosa Museum building was built in 1828 during the Spanish period as a government Building under the reign of Gobernadorcillo Don Bernardo Zavalla, and in 1954 the building was re-organized.  January  17, 2006, Resolution No.  10-2006 was made on the proposal of Councilor Joseph C.
