Manila 3rd district Rep. Joel Chua is calling on the government to initiate what he called a private sector-led rehabilitation of the San Sebastian Minor Basilica, or San Sebastian Chuch, which he claims is 'crumbling' before our eyes. ManilaBulletin
Manila 3rd district Rep. Joel Chua is appealing for a concerted effort to save the deteriorating, 132-year-old San Sebastian Church in Quiapo, Manila.
"San Sebastian Church, babagsak na...direcho na po ako sa punto: Pabagsak na po ang San Sebastian Church sa Quiapo, Manila. Literal na malapit na pong gumuho ang istraktura ng San Sebastian. At huwag na po nating hintayin na may maaksidente o mamatay pa bago tayo umaksyon ," Chua said to start his speech.
Chua said that there have been multiple "serious incidents" since the 2000s that have betrayed the basilica's serious degradation. De Seabra's study discovered at least six vulnerable spots in the structure of the San Sebastian Church after modeling analyses on gravitational, and seismic load factors were done.
