Tutulong ang Department of Tourism (DOT) sa isasagawang rehabilitasyon ng nasunog na Manila Central Post Office kamakailan.
Ito ang ipinangako ni DOT Secretary Christina Frasco at sinabing nararapat lamang na bigyan ng atensyon ng pamahalaan ang istraktura dahil sa pagiging "cultural treasure" nito.
“We note the remarks that has been made by the city government of Manila that has assured that it will not be torn down and from our end in the DOT, recognizing the heritage value of this structure, we are prepared to follow through on the direction that the Marcos administration would take in terms of how to rehabilitate the structure,” anang opisyal.
"Especially considering that our attached agency, TIEZA (Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority] has long led the assistance in terms of rehabilitation of heritage structures,” dagdag pa ng DOT chief.
Matatandaang nasunog ang gusali nitong Linggo ng gabi at tumagal ito ng 30 oras.
