MANILA, Philippines – A 300-year-old pulpit, considered a national cultural treasure in the Philippines, collapsed in a church south of Manila two weeks before Christmas.
It was a reminder of the state of heritage structures in the Philippines, a former Spanish colony that is home to some of Asia’s oldest Catholic churches.
