Good day, National Historical Commission of the Philippines! I, Edward Bryan C. Caisip, a member of the Heritage Conservation Society, would like to ask you for any documents pertaining to the declaration of Escolta Street as Heritage Zone. According to a resource person, there was already a document prepared by the NHCP about the declaration of Escolta as a Heritage Zone, only it didn't manage to get to the board for proper resolution. May I ask if you have this document? It will be a huge help for us in the HCS as we find ways to help preserve and develop Escolta's heritage. Thank you.

The NHCP proposed the declaration of Escolta as a heritage zone in 2014. We met with Mayor Joseph Estrada that year and also wrote the city government to draft a local ordinance in order to protect and preserve the site. The proposed declaration has been pending with us until the City Government drafts such ordinance.
