Our built Heritage can change anytime, either for natural calamities or from people who don’t see the value of it.
Recently the Liberty in Lapulapu City, shrine underwent a facelift, all the greens where replace with boring cement, and all the trees where uprooted, making the park to hot for the people to appreciate it.
The Streetview of the Liberty Shrine that I took years back, is entirely different from what it is today, it was altered, the monument of Lapulapu was moved.
So documenting our heritage site is very important, so that our future generations can see, what was then and now.
It had been my advocacy, to document these sites, be it cultural or historical, for we are the keepers of our heritage, and it is our responsibility to keep it for our children’s children.
With the long time i had been with google maps, from mapmakers days till it pivot to local guide, i always make it a point to share pictures of our built heritage, it is my own way of preserving these treasure for the future generation.
