Notes
The Heritage Conservation Society - Batangas Chapter found out that the exceptional Art Deco Bauan Municipal Hall in Batangas is scheduled for demolition on October 15, 2011 in violation of Republic Act No. 10066 which prohibits the demolition of structures 50 years or older without the permission of the NCCA. There is also a proposal to demolish the Bauan East Central School for the construction of a terminal.
I’m all for progress but not at the expense of existing town treasures. I’m not sure what I could do but I hope the municipio and Sentral will be preserved and improved instead of replaced.
And it’s sad that people realizes the value of something when it’s nearly or already gone.
