I. Defining Culture and Cultural Heritage
A. Culture
This is just one among the many definitions of culture. For the
purpose of this project, we shall adapt the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO)
Bangkok definition which states that:
“Culture is….a term used to cover the social structure, languages,
belief systems, institutions, technology, art, food, and traditions of
particular groups of people. The term is used to define a group’s
way of life and its own view of itself and of other groups, as well as
to define the material goods it creates and uses, the skills it has
developed, and the behaviors it transmits to each successive
generation.”
B. Cultural Heritage
(provide examples)
(insert phases)
The State shall give priority to education, science and technology, arts,
culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate
social progress, and promote total human liberation and development
(Art. II, Sec. 17).
Arts and Letters shall enjoy the patronage of the State. The State shall
conserve, promote and popularize the nation’s historical and cultural
heritage resources, as well as artistic creations (Art. XIV, Sec. 15).
All the country’s artistic and historic wealth constitutes the cultural
treasure of the nation and shall be under the protection of the State
which may regulate its disposition (Art. XIV, Sec. 16)
