6) Streetwise Asia Fund – Update October 2009

Kuguita Gabaldon School Conservation project in the Philippines

Streetwise Asia has committed funding to support a second project in the Philippines following completion of its first conservation project in Champasak, Lao PDR late in 2008.

A school classroom building at Kuguita Elementary School on the Island of Camiguin in Southern Philippines has been selected, and documentation for a program of conservation is now complete with works due to commence in early December. The project was identified for Streetwise via Sydney architect Bruce Dawbin who has volunteered his expertise to work with the Philippines Heritage Conservation Society (HCS), an influential heritage resource and lobby group in the Philippines. The Philippines ICOMOS chapter is also supporting the project represented by renowned heritage architect, Augusto Villalon. The school building is one of the “Gabaldon Schools”, now widely recognised in the Philippines as an important group of approximately 3000 school buildings erected during the American period (1898 – 1946). Bruce has visited Kuguita on two occasions, and has negotiated the project with the school community on behalf of Streetwise.

Camiguin Island is a picturesque volcanic island located off the north coast of the island of Mindanao. The school name, Kuguita means “Octopus”. It is an area with a poor local community with limited educational opportunities. The school is not included in any maintenance program by the severely under-resourced Department of Education and no other source of funding is available for the conservation of this building. The building is unsafe for occupation in its present condition and will comprise three classrooms and essential facilities for the school following conservation.

Documentation and management of the project

Documentation for the conservation is the result of collaboration between Streetwise and Dominic Galicia Architects in Manila. Bruce Dawbin, on behalf of Streetwise has prepared a conservation plan for the building to guide the works, and will be involved in periodic inspections to ensure that high standards of building conservation are achieved.

ICOMOS Fundraising

The available Streetwise contribution of $11,000 was insufficient to undertake the extensive works required. The ICOMOS Annual Conference dinner raffle in July successfully raised an additional $3,200 for this worthwhile project, and ICOMOS members are sincerely thanked for their generosity.

AusAid Funding

The project requires more than $60,000 to undertake the work. Following extensive negotiations by Bruce Dawbin on behalf of Streetwise, funding of approximately $50,000 has been secured from AusAid, through the Australian Embassy in Manila, allowing the full project to proceed. This is a very exciting outcome as it has achieved one of the key Streetwise objectives – to partner with other funding agencies and be the catalyst for a conservation project to occur which otherwise would not have been achievable.

Bruce is to be congratulated for his success to date with this proposed project which has required considerable negotiation and technical skills, together with inputs of large amounts of personal time and resources. The project would not be possible without his commitment, dedication and determination. Thanks to all those ICOMOS members who have donated to this fund, either individually or through the conference raffle.
