CRIME AGAINST THE HERITAGE OF ZAMBOANGA CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBOANGA It is only recently that we realized the kind of improvement the National Museum has been doing inside our Fort Pilar which is recognized as the oldest landmark of Zamboanga City. Fort Pilar was constructed in 1635 by the Jesuits. It is the most historically significant structure that we Zamboanguenos are very proud of. Sometime in 2012, the National Government announced that it has budget for the improvement of the Fort. Given the fact that they are the key agency with the expertise in the field of preservation of Heritage, Culture and History, I have a feeling that those who knew about it had confidence in this mentioned agency. BUT WHAT HAVE THEY DONE???!!! They have destroyed the ruins in their goal of improving. The south and east bricked-walls have been plastered with cement to make the surface smooth just like any new building today. Gone are the spanish-looking walls that made the inner fort look as authentic as it looks outside. On the same walls, they constructed something that does not look old but an ugly edifice that looks new. I had goosebumps just seeing it! National Museum, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US???!!! WHAT I ALSO LEARNED WHICH SHOULD ALARM US ALL EVEN FURTHER IS THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO ALSO PLASTER WITH CEMENT THE WEST AND NORTH WINGS OF THE INNER FORT!!! WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO TAKE PLACE! THEY ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN DOING IT AS I NOTICED THE SCAFFOLDINGS ALREADY IN PLACE. WE SHOULD NOW ACT A.S.A.P. BEFORE THEY BEGIN DESTROYING OUR FORT... OUR HERITAGE... OUR IDENTITY! LET US STORM THE INTERNET WITH OUR OBJECTION TO FURTHER DESTRUCTION OF THE INNER WALLS OF FORT PILAR. LET US WRITE JEREMY M. BARNS, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM AND TELL THEM TO STOP NOW!!! THEY NEVER CONSULTED US ZAMBOANGUENOS ABOUT THEIR PROJECT. THEY WENT ON AND VANDALIZED OUR SIGNIFICANT PAST. CALLING ALL ZAMBOANGUENOS! WE MUST NOT WASTE TIME! WE SHOULD ACT NOW AGAINST THIS CRIME AGAINST THE HERITAGE OF ZAMBOANGA!
