Republic Act No. 10066 or the “National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009” defines cultural heritage as the totality of cultural property preserved and developed through time and passed on to posterity. A “built heritage” includes architectural and engineering structures, such as but not limited to, bridges, government buildings, houses of ancestry, traditional dwellings, quarters, train stations, light houses, small ports, educational, technological and industrial complexes, and their settings, and landscapes with notable historical and cultural significance.
