The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), in partnership with the Municipal Government of New Washington, Aklan; the Department of Tourism Western Visayas; and the Department of Interior and Local Government Region VI; will bring the LGU Training on History and Heritage to the local government units of Aklan, Capiz, Antique, Iloilo, and Guimaras on 1-3 October 2024 at the Manuel Peralta Community Center, New Washington, Aklan.
As part of the three-day training program, NHCP resource persons will share their knowledge and experience in various topics including the naming & renaming of public places; declaration of local holidays, conduct of local commemorative programs, implementation of the Flag and Heraldic Code, Recognition of Historic Sites and Structures, Cases of Heritage Preservation, Agents of Deterioration, Creating Local Museums, and Local Heritage Community Engagement.
This training, the second in the 2024 circuit, aims to capacitate the NHCP’s local partners in conducting and implementing relevant cultural laws at the regional and provincial levels. Active collaboration with the help of LGUs and local stakeholders ensure that our history and cultural heritage remain relevant and accessible for future generations.
The NHCP is the national government agency mandated to promote Philippine history through its museums, research, and publications, and to preserve historical heritage through conservation and the marking of historic sites and structures.
