About Us
Project: Limang Siglo
The objective of the project is to do digital documentation of as much, if not all, heritage churches in the Philippines by the end of year 2021. Digital documentation is a comprehensive and tedious process that will require resources. The resources needed to completely produce a digital documentation is significant that it will require serious support from the local community. While donation and volunteerism is much welcomed, a sustainable model has to be done to complete this gigantic task.
Using the output of the documentation, and use of modern digital channels like social media and alike. With creative use of the output, instead of funding the project on traditional grants, marketing values and placements can be offered to community and corporate sponsors.
