THE Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) turned over digitized church records spanning four centuries to the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
The CBCP said the university will serve as 'guardians' of the important documents.In a statement late Tuesday, CBCP said that UST rector Fr. Richard Ang received the files from Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, CBCP president, in a low-key event at the UST Rector's Hall.The Catholic church claimed that the microfilms contain canonical records of baptism, confirmation, marriage and death in parishes all over the country from the early 1660s to the first decades of the 20th century.
'He recalled how the Church of the Latter-day Saints worked with the CBCP in producing the records, and how encouraging it is that despite the changes in media technology, 'the old can always be transferred to the new one.'The transfer of the documents to UST, he added, will 'make the data more readily available for research work.'Ang thanked the CBCP for the trust given to them.
