The pulpit panels removed from the heritage church of Boljoon in southern Cebu in the late 1980s that ended up as a donation to the National Museum of the Philippines will be returned. In an interview last April 27, Palma said that during the discussions, the archdiocese “claimed our right the ownership of the panels.” He thanked the NMP for conserving the panels and taking care of them but stressed that they should be returned.
“This is a triumph of the community and the stakeholders for not just claiming for the return of the pulpit panels to the church where they are from but this is a duly recognition of the voice of this community affirming and demanding its right for what truly belongs to their culture, faith, memory and the sense of their identity,” said Fr. Brian Brigoli, Chairperson of the Cebu Archdiocesan Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church.
