Does the NCCA have the power to ENFORCE the Republic Act No. 10066 or intervene? Yung mga less meaningful issues like Number Coding merong enforcer (MMDA etc), bakit yung may mas importansya wala. Dapat bigyan ng konting pangil ang NCCA kasi yung matitigas ang ulo na poloticians, tatawanan lang ang Republic Act No. 10066 natin kasi they don't get repremanded. These are clear violations, and they should be brought to the court.Ramil Delos Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362987679188788714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-65963174576126482132012-07-12T15:33:31.890+08:002012-07-12T15:33:31.890+08:00Anonymous 26.5.12

I grew up near Quiapo and Binondo and I hate to see the day when all that will be left are slum areas and garbages in our area. I had also recently visited Fort Santiago again and learned that it's an endangered architectural site.

What have a fake when one can have the original? Plus is there no value to that magnificent staircase and courtyard?<br /><br />At the heart of the problem is the position taken by the current administration that there should be NO limits to the height of buildings ANYWHERE IN THE CITY. I believe HCS' case will be stronger if we couple preservation with PUBLIC discussions of why height restrictions are important in particular areas of the city because of arrying capacity, etc., etc. For as long as the mentality is the sky is the limit, our crusade for preservation will be weak.<br /><br />Needless to say, the discussion should draw in economists and environmentalists who can make a stronger case about how quality of life translates into revenues.It is important to remind the public that one factor that killed Escolta in the 1970s was that the relentless push upwards had created horrible traffic jams on the street level. This Makati did not have as yet because the avenues were wider --- and there were fewer buildings then.<br /><br />An example of a pseudo-reconstruction is what happened when they build that mall at the site of Meisic in Binondo -- they covered the entry with fake adobe stones.Fernando Zialcitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-63937289182153830682012-05-21T17:59:42.177+08:002012-05-21T17:59:42.177+08:00This must be addressed!
