The House of Representatives on Monday, March 15, approved on third and final reading a bill penalizing builders of “photobombers” of any national shrine, landmark, monument and other historical edifices and structures.
With all 210 congressmen present voting on the affirmative, the Lower Chamber gave the final approval for House Bill 8829 that will prevent a repetition of the controversy triggered by the skyscraper Torre de Manila that was constructed by DMCI Homes.
Authored by Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman HB 8829 proposes to protect the physical integrity of a cultural or historical property of the country by penalizing persons that will cause the obstruction to its view and sightline.

Authored by Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, HB 8829 was endorsed for plenary approval by the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture chaired by Pasig City Rep. Roman T. Romulo.
IMPORTANT CULTURAL PROPERTIES: NCCA invitation for comments on the delisting petition.
The latest excitement in heritage circles is over a temple in Santa Ana that a Ms.
Chloe Chizu Go, wants removed from the National Museum’s “Important Cultural Property” list. How she became owner of a temple is another story, but the petition must be in preparation for its demolition and replacement as another commonplace building, maybe a high rise.
There are some bright spots of course Metropolitan Theater, China Bank Building on Juan Luna, Luneta Hotel in Ermita are their magnificent old selves, but it’s a pity how so few reminders are left of beautiful and historic Manila. The Art Deco Jai Alai building was demolished to make way for a parking lot. Torre de Manila mars the vista of Rizal Park, a fate that may soon befall gothic San Sebastian Church.
