PRRD signs laws establishing heritage zones in Cebu, Ilocos Sur

MANILA – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has signed into law two bills declaring heritage zones in Cebu and Ilocos Sur provinces.

Duterte signed both Republic Act 11644, also known as the “Carcar City Heritage Zone Act” and RA 11645, which establishes a heritage zone within the municipality of San Vicente, Ilocos Sur on Jan. 14, 2022.

Upon signing RA 11644, Duterte acknowledged that the Constitution “mandates the State to conserve, develop, promote, and popularize the nation’s historical and cultural heritage and resources, as well as its artistic creations”.

According to the Constitution, all of the country’s artistic and historic wealth “constitute the cultural treasures of the nation and shall be protected by the State, which may regulate its disposition.”

“Towards this end, the promotion and preservation of the cultural and historical landmarks that highlight the uniqueness and beauty of Carcar City, including all century-old architecturally significant and historic houses thereat, shall be pursued in the development and management of its tourism industry, cultural heritage and resources,” RA 11644 read.

The Department of Tourism (DOT), in collaboration with the provincial government of Cebu, the city government of Carcar, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and its affiliated cultural agencies, and other concerned government agencies, will be given priority development under the law, subject to the rules and regulations governing the conservation and preservation of heritage zones.

The DOT, in coordination with local governments of Cebu and Carcar City, the NCCA and its affiliated cultural agencies, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), will immediately prepare the development plan involving the preservation, conservation, restoration, and maintenance of cultural and historical sites and structures for the enhancement and sustainability of tourism in Carcar City.

The NCCA will only approve methods and materials for conservation and restoration work that strictly comply to accepted international conservation standards, as specified in Section 15 of RA 10066 or the National Cultural Heritage Act.

In coordination with the DENR, the provisions of Republic Act 7586, or the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 1992, as revised by Republic Act 11038, shall be applied in the management of protected areas within the City of Carcar.

The DOT, in coordination with the Provincial Government of Cebu, the City Government of Carcar, the NCCA and its affiliated cultural agencies, and the DENR will promulgate the necessary rules and regulations for the effective implementation of this Act.

The Act which originated in the House of Representatives was passed by the House on Dec. 17, 2019, amended by the Senate on Sept. 27, 2021, and which amendments were concurred in by the House on Nov. 23, 2021.

Under RA 11645, the DOT will immediately prepare a development plan involving the preservation, conservation, restoration, and maintenance of cultural and historical sites and structures for the enhancement and sustainability of tourism in San Vincente, Ilocos Sur, in collaboration with the Province of Ilocos Sur, the Municipality of San Vicente, Ilocos Sur, and the NCCA and its affiliated cultural agencies.

Only those methods and materials will be approved by the NCCA for conservation and restoration work that strictly comply to accepted international conservation standards, as specified in Section 15 of RA 10066.

The Municipality of San Vicente, Ilocus Sur will pass a municipal ordinance within one year from the effectivity of this Act, to operationalize appropriately the management of its heritage zone, including all cultural properties designated as intrinsic thereto, in accordance with the development plan and in line with the objectives and provisions of RA 10066 and RA 11645.

The preservation, protection, study, and promotion of the cultural and historical integrity of the geographical area represented by the heritage zone will receive priority development attention, assistance, and funding from the NCCA and its affiliated cultural agencies, and from the DOT and its attached agencies, subject to existing appropriate government rules and regulations.
