The É«¼¦µ¼º½, through the Graduate School Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics, bagged the prestigious Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) grant for its Samar Fortification Project. This grant, valued at Two Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($245,000.00), will be a game-changer in the Safeguarding Sentinels Of The Samar Seas: Conservation Project of Samar Fortifications.

With a transdisciplinary approach, the project will advance heritage research, education programs and tourism promotion that will dramatically impact the Samar Province’s holistic development. These forgotten fortifications are value-added to Spark Samar’s program by promoting historically significant tourist destinations that provide opportunities for community-driven conservation.

To jumpstart the project, the US Embassy in the Philippines, Deputy Director for Public Engagement Chad Kinnear, joined by Resource Coordination Specialist Mr. Edwin Raymund A. Vergara, conducted an ocular inspection last November 21-22, 2024 in three (3) fortification sites in Samar Province. They were accompanied by the university’s composite team from USTGS-CCCPET, UST College of Tourism and Hospitality Management, and UST College of Architecture. Samar Governor Sharee Ann Tan expressed her sincere gratitude to the US Embassy of the Philippines and to the É«¼¦µ¼º½.

Ms. Beverly M. Bautista, MAEd, Officer-in-Charge of USTGS-CCCPET and Project Director, emphasizes that this initiative aligns with the university’s vision of preserving cultural heritage that will inspire future generations as responsible stewards. Through the AFCP grant, USTGS-CCCPET gets to continue its role as a prime mover of cultural heritage preservation, advocating  heritage utilization toward community development.

The project is set to launch on December 4, 2024, in Sta. Rita, Samar, in partnership with Samar Provincial Government and the Local Government of Sta. Rita.

The AFCP, established by the US Department of State, supports projects worldwide that preserve cultural heritage, including historic buildings, archaeological sites, collections, and intangible heritage such as traditional crafts and languages.

The É«¼¦µ¼º½, through the Graduate School Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics, was elected to the lead position of the Secretariat of the Asia-Pacific Higher Education Network for Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage (APHEN-ICH). This significant development was announced during the Intangible Cultural Heritage International Conference and General Meeting at Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 22-23, 2024.

The APHEN-ICH Secretariat is composed of four member universities: É«¼¦µ¼º½ as the lead together with the bureau members; University of Dhaka in Bangladesh for South Asia, Vietnam National University-Hanoi in Vietnam for Southeast Asia, and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in South Korea for East/North Asia.

USTGS-CCCPET, with its wealth of experience and expertise, will serve for two years as the Secretariat of APHEN-ICH. Assoc. Prof. Eric B. Zerrudo, PhD, the Executive Director of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and Program Lead of the UST Graduate School – Cultural Heritage Studies, will serve as the Head of the Secretariat alongside CCCPET Officer-in-Charge Ms. Beverly Macayan-Bautista, MAED, who will serve as the International Coordinator of the network. In this role, USTGS-CCCPET will be instrumental in orchestrating the activities and programs of the network, ensuring its seamless operation and the effective execution of its mission.

The election of the USTGS-CCCPET was grounded on its successful hosting of the Intangible Cultural Heritage International Conference and APHEN-ICH Field School in the Philippines with the City Government of Mabalacat and other LGU partners in the Pampanga province last 2023.

APHEN-ICH, a collaborative initiative established in September 2018 in partnership with the International Information and Networking Center for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia Pacific Region (ICHCAP) under the auspices of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), stands as a testament to the joint dedication to preserving intangible cultural heritage in the Asia-Pacific. Aligned with the 2003 UNESCO Convention, the network is focused on nurturing and reinforcing this capacity through joint programs and activities to promote the 2003 Convention for Intangible Cultural heritage. As of 2024, the network proudly counts 23 member universities in the Asia-Pacific Region.
