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.
