SORSOGON MUSEUM AND HERITAGE CENTER

Maybe you still remember the old Sorsogon Provincial Hospital Building? which was built inside the Provincial grounds in 1916, well my dear Sorsoganons this will soon be transformed into a Museum and a Heritage Center.

With a building cost estimated at P15 million, this old building will be rebuilt with it's architectural character remaining intact. In my personal interview with Architect Ramon "Ching" Dealca, who was commissioned by the Sorsogon Museum and Heritage Center Inc. to the job, he said that the correct term for the construction of the said building is " adaptive re-use of the former Sorsogon Provincial Hospital". "We will try all means so that the original structural design of the old hospital is maintained. This building was built using the the old American colonial style...Dealca said.

Arhitect Dealca added that..." matibayon pa ini na building, in fact an mga dingding sadi...buhos pa an semento nan pati an ginamit na kabilya.."twisted iron pa. The Architect said that the whole building will be rehabilitated to serve as an exhibit area for various artifacts, memorabilia and other materials of historical significance. Through this Museum and Heritage Center, lalo naton mapapatibay an istorya asin kultura kan Probinsiya nin Sorsogon.

If you can still remember, this old hospital building has an Annex...(remember?) this will be constructed again for the audio-visual room, cafeteria and offices for the museum and tourism.
The actual construction will be done into phases, subject to availability of funds.
