PRECUP Advisory for cultural/tourism officers in relation to the Annual Submission/Updating of Local Cultural Inventory

Please submit your local inventory of cultural property, along with its documentary requirements, through the following email addresses: precup@ncca.gov.ph and precup.pilipinas@gmail.com on or before DECEMBER 15, 2021.

 

A Local Cultural Inventory (LCI) serves as a catalogue of identified tangible and intangible cultural properties, being maintained by the LGU which reveals the identity of its community and provides systematization and information on local cultural heritage.

The following are some of the ways to start with creating and maintaining a local cultural inventory:

• Cultural Mapping Program of NCCA - A technical assistance provided to requesting LGUs for them to identify and document the cultural resources in their locality.

• Cultural Mapping Programs of Other Institutions - LGUs may also coordinate and tap assistance with other institutions such as Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and academic institutions.

• Archival Research - LGUs may consolidate existing data on cultural properties through studies and documentations previously done about their locality through primary and secondary sources, in order to identify the existence and significance of cultural properties in the locality and enrich the existing information about them.

• Comprehensive Survey of Heritage Structures - This is especially important in view of the vulnerability of heritage sites and spaces and their associated environments and for purposes of public safety and compliance to the PRECUP. This can be undertaken through joint cooperation of relevant offices within the LGU, among other partners.
