| Abstract | This study was conducted in light of the proposals made in 2014 to declare Ermita in Manila as a "Heritage Zone" in accordance with the Natural Cultural Heritage Act of 2009 (Republic Act No. 10066). The proposal specifically covered the University of the Philippines (UP) Manila complex, the Supreme Court (SC), the National Museum (NM) complex, the Manila City Hall, the Manila Post Office and the Metropolitan Theater.

How are they as Protectors and Stewards of (their) heritage, i.e. their built heritage, archival materials, marked structures and historical monuments?

In particular, a scoring spectrum was adopted in an attempt to show and explain how these dimensions are to be characterized, identified and evaluated accordingly - the existence or presence, level, range, quality and/or breadth or coverage of these categories. Qualities defining their awareness and knowledge; actions or inaction; competence, and the matter of policies, rules and programs were also covered.
