Greetings!
My name is A. Chester Ong, a photographer based in Hong kong and former manila resident. Together with Professor Ronald G. Knapp of SUNY, New Paltz Upstate New York, we are currently working on our third book focusing on overseas chinese houses covering southern china, and southeast asia. we have been able to document some notable mansions or shophouses built by chinese expatriates and we would love to include some examples from the Philippines. during the course of the photography, i have documented some distinctive mausoleums at the Chinese cemetary. the chinese cemetary is in itself a unique location that is unprecendented in terms of scale, architectural variety and history. we also needed to feature an example of a chinese built mansion or shophouse the book is slated for publication sometime in the summer or fall of 2009 By Tuttle/Periplus publishing I hoped to hear from you soon!
kind regards
A. Chester Ong

I would like to invite you to come and see the Macaraeg-Macapagal Ancestral House in Iligan City. It’s were the two president lives (Pres. Doesdao Macapagal & Gloria Macapagal Arroyo). It sad that the Macaraeg-Macapagal ancestral house is not in this site. Thanks you very much.

I really enjoyed browsing this site and to see a lot of heritage buildings in our country being preserved. Having worked on some historical renovations in Canada and US
I was getting really frustrated with what happened to a lot of ancestral homes in my hometown of Malabon City. I salute your group in working hard to preserve part of our history. I’m looking forward to visit some of the places shown on this site. I would have not known about those beautiful towns, cities and churches if not because of your
group. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for putting up this site. This will surely help people, both local and foreign, most especially the young generation, learn more about our rich historical, cultural & religious heritage. Through this site we can help preserve our historical and heritage sites, the centuries-old churches and elegant ancestral houses.
I am a Freelance Photographer and an avid traveler. I have been going around the country visiting and taking photographs of some of our country’s historical sites as well as its natural attractions.
I hope I can be of help to the Heritage Conservation Society in the documentation of our country’s invaluable historical sites before they all disappear due to natural calamities such as earthquakes, typhoons and floods or man-made such as fires and indiscriminate destruction of sites with historical importance and significance.

I am glad to see few people still care much about our local Architectural Heritage. I hope that the government would give more effort and support in preserving these priceless treasures of our country. Kudos HC!

i am so glad that there is such a thing right now.i guess it about time because there are so many old houses that are not appreciated and end up as fire wood. we have. . .
CASA BINANG is a 70 year old Luspo ancestral home which was burned down by the Japanese during World War II and was reconstructed immediately after the war by the widow of the late Maximino Fabiana Luspo; Senora Binang Reyes Vda. Luspo . Desirous to preserve the legacy of their ancestor the younger generation initiated by Margie Velez Luspo Numano with her own personal funds is now maintaining its original structure with slight renovation. . .and i want to keep this as long as it can be.please help me on how to have this protected. thank you and i hope to hear from you soon.
