Renovations

Further to the major structural repairs and renovations of Manila Cathedral, which were blessed in a proper ceremonial rite during its 44th anniversary in December 2002, more construction projects have been undertaken.

These are efforts of the Rector in connection with a continuing “facelift program” for the Cathedral until it becomes fully furbished by the time it celebrates its Golden Anniversary in 2008.

Based on the status report prepared by foreman Romeo Galido and bookkeeper Jennie Calderon, the following works have been completed as of December 2003:
