Key Words: Quiapo Heritage District
Description:
The second series of Cha-Time is under the theme of “Traditional Cultural Wisdom for Climate Action”, which we welcome speakers from the next generation of cultural and climate professionals, ages 18-35, whose work, study, or interests focus on cultural heritage and climate resilience.
Introduction.
Quiapo Heritage District: Faith, Development, and Modern Challenges to its Local Community is going to be held on June 4 at 2.00 -3.00 PM UTC+7.
For over four hundred years Quiapo district, which is located at the heart of Manila, Philippines, has been witness to political and economic upheavals, the birth and expansion of religious expressions and devotions, and nowadays the aggressive increase of modern development projects in the capital. Moreover, district has earned some notoriety because of the perceivable decay and degradation of its environment. The destruction or demolition of a number of its historic structures contributed to the sentiment that the loss of its heritage is irreversible. The increasing reality of consequences of climate change, adds another layer to the issues already confronting the embattled heritage preservation efforts in the district.
The presentation would highlight the challenges of preservation professionals and advocates alike and how the local community responds to the efforts to protect what remains of the heritage assets of Quiapo.
