About Us

The Pamana website was developed through an envisioned partnership between Constant Motion Studio and UAP – Special Council on Architectural Heritage Conservation.The Special Council launched a series of seminar-workshops in 2019, entitled "Built Heritage Mapping and Inventory." However, the Special council was subsequently dissolved.

Although the partnership did not materialize, Constant Motion Studio continued to build this online repository platform to assist local government units with the mapping and inventory of cultural properties. The current objective of this website is to enable the public to easily access information about cultural properties, and to gather information about these sites through crowdsourcing. In the future, we hope to enable communities to nominate sites for inclusion in the Philippine Registry of Cultural Properties (PRECUP).

This pilot website is currently focused on the island of Cebu and it’s natural and cultural heritage sites. The plan is to expand the repository to all regions of the Philippines. If you are interested in joining our project of creating an inventory of natural and cultural assets, please join our community by creating an account. We also look forward to partnering with various organizations and local government units to collect data and grow our online repository.

Maps of Heritage Sites

Join the Community

As part of the community, there are ways to help your Local Government Units maintain an updated registry of your local heritage sites. You may nominate structures such as houses, chapels, churches, or schools that are not yet established as heritage sites.

You may also send photos, videos, and other types of media about existing heritage sites. Historical photos help us keep track of the damages, repairs, and other changes that have been made to the structures as time goes by, especially those that have been destroyed by typhoons, earthquakes, and fire.
