Something must be done for this World Heritage. And fast. Or else your postcard pretty heritage will someday be just that–pretty on postcard. Time is running out for this labor of love and work of art that took 2,000 years to finish.

However, instead of Congress causing the abolition of these offices by starving them of funds, it will be the Palace that will do the job within a one-year period, Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. (Lakas, Camarines Sur) said yesterday.


Andaya chairs the House appropriations committee which is now reviewing the proposed P781-billion 2002 budget.
