CEBU City— The Cebu Heritage Commission has resumed operations after years of inactivity and presented a proposed 2026–2028 heritage conservation plan aimed at safeguarding the province’s cultural assets while supporting social, economic, and environmental goals.
During its first meeting on March 5 at the Governor’s Conference Room, the panel discussed amendments to the 18-year-old Cebu Provincial Heritage Site Ordinance ratified in 2008 to broaden its scope and strengthen legal protections for heritage sites across the province.
Provincial administrator Ace Durano, the commission’s executive director, presided over the meeting attended by board members Red Duterte, Mike Villamor, Paz Rozgoni, and Stanley Caminero.
Representatives from the National Museum of the Philippines, the University of San Carlos, and the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc., along with Capitol department heads, were also present.
