Culture game is officially locked in!

Big win for Baras! We just secured the official Certificate of Compliance from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) for our Local Cultural Inventory, mapping our history and making sure our heritage gets the respect it deserves.

Huge shoutout to Mayor Jose Paolo P. Teves III for always leading with that visionary energy, and the entire Sangguniang Bayan of Baras for backing the vision.

And special main character energy goes to Hon. Eunice Carranza (Committee Chair on Tourism and Cultural Affairs) for doing the heavy lifting and making sure our cultural assets are protected.

We love a town that preserves its roots while moving forward. Baras is officially certified!
