The Holy Rosary Parish restoration committee urges the Angeles City Catholic community to participate in a survey tackling key conservation issues.
ANGELES CITY, Philippines – Safety issues and financial capacity will determine the fate of more than two dozen ornate chandeliers that have lit up this city’s Roman Catholic heritage church for more than half a century, according to conservation planners.
The church was founded in 1877 and construction continued until 1896. On completion, the church was dedicated to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary. These were taken down after the magnitude 6.1 earthquake that jolted Central Luzon on April 2019 caused cracks on walls and ceilings of the church, Hilina Roman, head of the HRP restoration committee, told Rappler on Monday, July 4.
“They should exhaust all remedies before deciding on replicas, and I don’t think they’ve done that,” he said on July 6.“I think it’s just wrong information. If someone asks me if we are going to change the chandeliers, I tell them, no. If we are going to retain them, no. Because we don’t know,” she said.
“Yung HRP has been modified several times already, particularly the raising of the roof and in doing so, they had to put additional structural support before. So what we are seeing right now na, yung dome, is relatively modern, not part of the original structure,” said Cobilla. “We cannot just put any image, it has to agree with the liturgy. And then we have to collaborate with our structural engineer. We have consultants and heritage experts on what to do, while we act on what the parish can afford,” she said.
