THE Henry Sy Foundation (HSFI), West Visayas State University (WVSU) and SM Foundation recently signed a memorandum of agreement for the adaptive restoration of the century-old Quezon Hall, an initiative to preserve a key educational heritage in Iloilo City.
Bulwagang Quezon, a landmark structure, dating back to 1926, weathered the destruction of World War 2. It was rebuilt in 1946 under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act. Over the decades, the building underwent various minor renovations but the hall had not seen a major rehabilitation since its post-war reconstruction.
Joining the ceremonial signing of the memorandum of agreement for the the adaptive restoration of the Quezon Hall or Bulwagang Quezon of the West Visayas State University (WVSU) in Iloilo City are WVSU’s Joselito Villaruz, Peter Ernie Paris, Porferio Barlas, alongside SM Foundation and Henry Sy Foundation’s Debbie Sy, Lydia Echauz, Virginia Yap, Ramon Gil Macapagal, Carmen Linda Atayde and Juris Soliman.
