Film archives building also needs preservation
The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) is facing issues with its unfinished Philippine Film Heritage Building in Intramuros, Manila, with FDCP chair Jose Javier Reyes calling the situation "corruption" and describing the workmanship as substandard.
The heritage building, intended to be a hub for film preservation and restoration, has not yet been turned over to the FDCP.
Reyes stated that the matter has been handed over to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) due to the ongoing problems.
Recent inspections revealed flooding in the building's vaults after rain and mold growth in the toilets, despite the FDCP not having moved in yet.
Reyes expressed frustration, noting that even during a Senate hearing, it was acknowledged that projects by the involved parties were substandard.
