Guv to Nat’l Museum: ‘Meet us this week’

CEBU Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia has urged the National Museum of the Philippines to meet with the Provincial Government within the week to discuss the return of the stolen pulpit panels from a heritage-declared church in Boljoon town.Garcia clarified in a press conference Tuesday, April 2, 2024, that she does not have the right to demand action from NMP, but she can call them out to take the Province’s concerns seriously.

The panels, missing since they were reported stolen from Boljoon Church in the 1980s, resurfaced last Feb. 14 when they were donated to the NMP by a private individual as “a gift to the nation.”Garcia added that the Office of the Solicitor General has issued a comment to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts requesting a legal opinion regarding the stolen pulpit panels.
