The house is one of the centerpieces of the local government’s culture-based governance, which commenced with a cultural mapping project in 2014. Its restoration was spearheaded by the local government with the help of art patron Joven Cuanang and the local cultural group, San Nicolas Express Bin-I Foundation Inc.

“I also laud everybody involved for the strong advocacy toward cultural heritage conservation and sustainable tourism development,” she said.“As an Important Cultural Property, it deserves to be restored to its grandeur and be a significant landmark, not only in the municipality, but the whole province,” she added.

Puyat also underscored her agency’s program of supporting cultural tourism initiatives of local governments, such as the opening of Balay San Nicolas. “We are optimistic that this will help pave the way for the sustained recovery of the tourism industry and the economy,” she said.In an interview with Lifestyle, Valdez said the house is the most ideal to restore as even in its previous forlorn state, it is still beautiful.
