"World Heritage Sites and Living Cultures of the Philippines recalls and reveals, through a prism of photographs, the exceptional qualities of each of the existing Philippine World Heritage sites: the unique gifts of the Hamiquitan mountain range; the vibrant energy of the Tubbataha Reefs; the adventure offered by the Subterranean River in Puerto Princesa; the historic charm of Vigan city; there breathtaking of Rice Terraces of the Cordilleras; and the magnificent Churches of tropical Baroque - Santo Tomas de Villanueva Church in Miag-ao, Iloilo; Nuestra Señora de las Asuncion Church in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur; San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila; and San Agustin Church in Paoay, Ilocos Norte.
These images are accompanied by brief articles that explain the significance of each site, as well as the attributes that allowed for their inscription in the list of World Heritage Sites of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)." --Book jacket
