The Philippines, following its ratification of the convention on September 19, 1985, made its historical and natural sites eligible for inclusion on the list. The country had its first sites (the [[Baroque Churches of the Philippines|Baroque Churches]] and [[Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park]]) included in 1993, and has six sites on the list spanning nine locations, with the latest inclusion being the [[Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary]] in 2014.

Several WHS nominations for the Philippines have failed. In 2003, the [[Batanes]] Protected Landscape and Seascape was nominated, but was deferred due to the lack of conservation in the islands at the time; the Philippines aims to re-nominate it sometime in the 2020s, when the conservation program is set to finish.<ref>https://beta.philstar.com/headlines/2011/02/09/655400/batanes-bids-unesco-heritage-site-nod {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>http://www.ivanhenares.com/2010/03/batanes-heritage-in-danger.html {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> In early 2014, the [[Lazi Church]] nomination was rejected as UNESCO favored a more complete site, recommending the Old Town of [[Lazi, Siquijor]].<ref>http://www.philippinestoday.net/archives/14678 {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> Initially, [[Albay]]'s [[Mayon Volcano]] was set for declaration by 2020, but canceled after government failed to submit the site documents on time.<ref>https://www.pressreader.com/philippines/palawan-news/20180513/281706910325751 {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> |

In the 1990s, Filipino architect Augusto Villalón represented the Philippines in the UNESCO Committee and drafted the nomination dossiers of 5 heritage inscriptions. All the five inscriptions, which were the first five UNESCO sites in the Philippines, were declared as UNESCO World Heritage Sites from 1993 to 1999. These sites include the Baroque Churches of the Philippines (Miag-ao in Iloilo; Paoay in Ilocos Norte; Santa Maria in Ilocos Sur, and San Agustin in Manila); Tubbataha Reef National Park, Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Historic City of Vigan, and the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras<ref name="auto7">{{cite web|url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/293463/augusto-villalon-architect-heritage-advocate-passes-away/|title=Augusto Villalón, architect and heritage advocate, passes away|date=May 5, 2018|website=Inquirer Lifestyle}}</ref> After Villalón retired, the country had a 14-year drought in UNESCO World Heritage designations, which would be broken only in 2014, when Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1403/|title=Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary|first=UNESCO World Heritage|last=Centre|website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre}}</ref>{{toptextcells}} |

In 2003, the [[Batanes]] Protected Landscape and Seascape was nominated by the Philippines to become a World Heritage Site, however, the nomination was deferred by UNESCO due to the lack of conservation in the islands at the time. The site officially was put in deferred status in 2005. In 2011, prompted the local governments of Batanes afterwards declared a cultural and natural conservation program. Once all conservation programs are deemed successful and fulfilled, the Philippines aims to nominate Batanes again sometime in the 2020s.<ref>https://beta.philstar.com/headlines/2011/02/09/655400/batanes-bids-unesco-heritage-site-nod {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>http://www.ivanhenares.com/2010/03/batanes-heritage-in-danger.html {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> |
|||
In early 2014, the [[Lazi Church]] as a sole site was nominated by the Philippines, however, UNESCO advised the government to prepare a more complete dossier first, including its surrounding heritage structures and domains, making the Old Town of [[Lazi, Siquijor]] a UNESCO-recommended site. Once complete, the extension nomination for the Baroque Churches of the Philippines can commence in Paris.<ref>http://www.philippinestoday.net/archives/14678 {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> |
|||
In March 20, 2015, many of the 28 the tentative list were removed as they were hit by Typhoon Haiyan and the Bohol Earthquake in 2013. The country announced that it shall revitalize the sites removed from the tentative list first before those sites can be re-submitted in the future. |
|||
Initially, [[Albay]]'s [[Mayon Volcano]] was also set for declaration by 2020, but did not make the cut after government failed to submit the documents for Mayon Volcano on time.<ref>https://www.pressreader.com/philippines/palawan-news/20180513/281706910325751 {{Bare URL inline|date=March 2022}}</ref> |

Revision as of 05:32, 30 September 2023
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites (WHS) are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972.[1] Per the convention's criteria, cultural heritage consists of monuments (such as architectural works, monumental sculptures, or inscriptions), groups of buildings, and sites (including archaeological sites). Natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened flora and fauna), and sites from scientifical research, conservation, or aesthetic points of view are considered as natural heritage.[2]
The Philippines, following its ratification of the convention on September 19, 1985, made its historical and natural sites eligible for inclusion on the list. The country had its first sites (the Baroque Churches and Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park) included in 1993, and has six sites on the list spanning nine locations, with the latest inclusion being the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary in 2014. Of those six sites, three are cultural and three are natural. In addition,[3] the government of the Philippines has put 19 sites on the tentative list, meaning that they intend to consider them for WHS nomination in the future.[4] The country's heritage-related agencies and groups are updating the tentative list for a new list by late 2023, with sites like the Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary and the San Sebastian Basilica.[5]
Several WHS nominations for the Philippines have failed. In 2003, the Batanes Protected Landscape and Seascape was nominated, but was deferred due to the lack of conservation in the islands at the time; the Philippines aims to re-nominate it sometime in the 2020s, when the conservation program is set to finish.[6][7] In early 2014, the Lazi Church nomination was rejected as UNESCO favored a more complete site, recommending the Old Town of Lazi, Siquijor.[8] Initially, Albay's Mayon Volcano was set for declaration by 2020, but canceled after government failed to submit the site documents on time.[9]
