However, areas you need to move where you can build modern structures and there are areas specifically identified as the historic four. Which should be ah colonial architecture only. interestingly, the 1973 plan was also the first implementation devolves.

Here are some of the powers and functions of the Intramuros administration. It is the pursuant to residential decree. Number 16 16. So it has the power of eminent domain and expropriation. That's the power of it is the right of first refusal. Meaning a property cannot be sold to other persons. If the administration

has not are under the authority of known by several names in the past. So Regulations have been focused so much on aesthetics. And so styles that scale in proportion and relationship with other buildings have been forgotten. And have been unregulated. That

is why ito nature and yeah. The greed actually is no longer discernible. If wala yung calzada. If we're going to view the buildings only. Back then the grid was identifiable A lot of the problems 'no have been extensively discuss which have been implemented for received inputs of e-commerce, no? They have provided sweet comments. We have Neda has provided their inputs as well.

The MMBA etcetera, and to many people. So we have been very thankful. And of course, as much of us, we have Incorporated as many comments. As many suggestions So this is timeline 'no? So in twenty 17, there were two very important cases. The let The petrol gas station was initially not approved.

So on the technical committee and architectu There is new archival data or whenever there is new Then we have established criteria for reconstruction. Under the new

IRR. So reconstruction should not always be required. It can only be required if it satisfies the following criteria. So what are these criteria? There are enough primary resources, to so that for example the family building on the right or the immigration building on the left has to be altered.

Alteration should be in harmony with the original design of the building. text. So these are another additional changes in terms of strengthening of architectural policies, expansion of definition of terms. So we have expanded definition of terms.

That was another ah change regime. So we're trying to make it more inclusive as soon as possible. And more to to the original intent of the presidential decree number 1616. We have new rules and monuments. And we have created an office of the spectatory to exercise the visitorial powers of IA. In terms of building heights and measurements, there are no changes. We are keeping the 11.

five meter height. And in terms of roof, this one this one has never been tested yet, no? Walapa naman nagaaptay na bago pero, I'm curious as to yung implementation ito pero church So this is in line lang with our PWD law. Of course this is something which is new. So explicitly no will. So what do we mean by no bill so? The following are prohibited.

Parking as primary activity new constructions, and foreign teas or plants. So for in cases of parks and plazas, we can only authorize the plant, the plant have been encountered. So are there any new innovations that has to be created? So you will see. So of course there has to be review every once in a while. In this case, the period

of five years was provided for us. By the new IRR. So thank you so much for that. So na medyo nag overtime ako sa aking ah presentation. And I really look forward to any questions. Natya what is the update on the proposed carless day in Intramuros? We are here to follow up on that. So we are currently doing a study on pedestrianization. So we will

Okay, from an anonymous attendee, the clamshell tent formerly wove Philippines is deteriorating and became an eyesore. Are there any plans to improve it in the area?

Pero, I will not disclose signages with prohibitions cover the signages on government buildings or agencies which are usually instructed to put up tarpaulin signages to celebrate from Nemesio Junior or Macalintal, what is the most challenging part IA encountered in terms of preservation and which structure it is? it is convincing people that the responsibility for intermorals is not the the sole convince people na. Everyone is

involved for the protection of Intramuros. because of that prohibition on monuments. What if someone proposes ah social ah discrimination, prejudice, yung pag exclude sa mga native Filipinos. You can see that in that way people. Kasi Intramuros was built by Filipino hands. us.

your pesodism. How do we ensure that? na parang ano lang saluma sa salabas pero sobrang makabago na ng five mo. It will to answer properly that maybe we'll try to answer na lang that question in practice. So ah after this webinar we'll always in this process of trying to ah to to improve our services is overall vision. Perhaps ito
