𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗖𝗠𝗣𝗚 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 📖

On May 19–20, 2026, the Cultural Mapping of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental (CMPG) project marked a significant milestone by officially repatriating and distributing its comprehensive Cultural Mapping Inventories across the Province of Antique. This landmark event, held with the goal of returning vital cultural data to its roots, was attended by tourism officers and municipal representatives from across the province.

This achievement is the result of a collaborative framework involving the University of the Philippines Visayas, the University of Antique (UA), and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), in close coordination with local government units. The initiative was made possible through the visionary support of the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, whose advocacy for cultural heritage has been a driving force in empowering Western Visayas to document and celebrate its diverse identity.

Among the recipients was the 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝘂𝘆𝗮, which received its specific cultural inventory following intensive field mapping conducted in 2024. This particular documentation was a joint effort between UPV, UA, and the Caluya Municipal Tourism Office (CMTO) personnel. With these inventories now in hand, Caluya and its fellow municipalities are better equipped to integrate cultural profiles into their local policies, ensuring that the soul of Antique remains vibrant and protected amidst modern progress. ✨
