CTU’s hidden gem needs to be exposed again

commercially viable arts and crafts, were introduced early on in strategic centers of the Philippines, Cebu being one of them.

The Cebu Trade School with its expansive wings of classrooms still intact, from the 521-page book “Cebu-Visayas Directory” by A. Camasura, published in 1932. I happened to pass by Rafael Palma Street on my way to the SRP subway tunnel the other day when I noticed new construction in front of this historic structure. A quick post on my Facebook page elicited a response from one of my former archaeology students now teaching at CTU. He reported that this unwelcome intrusion was halted last August 5 on orders of the university board.

Or maybe they thought they could get away with it since this structure is almost invisible to the public? You see, someone decided in the recent past to put up a very high cement concrete perimeter fence to cordon off the entire CTU campus. This resulted in a heritage sacrilege of sorts: this architectural wonder was effectively hidden by a kind of ‘Berlin Wall’ as a result.
