 CULTURAL HERITAGE
O Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts and
intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited
from past generations, maintained in the present and
bestowed for the benefit of future generations.
O Cultural heritage includes tangible culture (such as
buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art,
and artifacts), intangible culture (such as folklore,
traditions, language, and knowledge), and natural heritage
(including culturally significant landscapes, and
biodiversity).
O Cultural property includes the physical, or "tangible"
cultural heritage, such as artworks. These are
generally split into two groups of movable and
immovable heritage. Immovable heritage includes
building so (which themselves may include installed
art such as organs, stained glass windows, and
frescos), large industrial installations, residential
projects or other historic places and monuments.
Moveable heritage includes books, documents,
moveable artworks, machines, clothing, and other
artifacts, that are considered worthy of preservation
for the future.
Examples:

The Historic Town of Vigan Paoay Church and other

Baroque Churches
O "Natural heritage" is also an important part of a
society's heritage, encompassing the countryside
and natural environment, including flora and fauna,
scientifically known as biodiversity, as well as
geological elements (including mineralogical,
geomorphological, paleontological, etc.),
scientifically known as geodiversity. These kind of
heritage sites often serve as an important
component in a country's tourist industry, attracting
many visitors from abroad as well as locally.
Heritage can also include cultural landscapes
(natural features that may have cultural attributes).
Examples:
Mount Timpoong-Hibok- Rice Terraces of the
Hibok Natural Monument Philippine Cordilleras

Mount Apo Natural Park

O "Intangible cultural heritage" consists of non-
physical aspects of a particular culture, more often
maintained by social customs during a specific
period in history. The concept includes the ways and
means of behavior in a society, and the often formal
rules for operating in a particular cultural climate.
These include social values and traditions, customs
and practices, aesthetic and spiritual beliefs, artistic
expression, language and other aspects of human
activity.
