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.
