{"abstract":"This research aimed to determine local perspectives on the preservation of the Jesuit House of 1730 in Cebu’s Parian District, focusing on its historical and cultural significance, challenges, and opportunities. A qualitative research design, grounded in descriptive narrative inquiry, was employed. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with fifteen local settlers (50–65 years old and 25 years old and below) and two key stakeholders from site management and the local government unit (LGU), using purposive sampling. Findings reveal a shared recognition of the Jesuit House’s cultural value but also highlight its limited visibility and awareness among locals, particularly the younger generation, due to its concealed location and lack of robust promotion. Older residents recall fragments of its historical narrative, while many younger participants remain largely unfamiliar. Challenges identified include inconsistent funding, delayed implementation of heritage policies, outdated exhibits, and insufficient communication between stakeholders. Opportunities exist in expanding educational outreach, leveraging social media, modernizing exhibits, and improving the museum’s spatial organization through future expansion. The research concludes that sustainable preservation depends on a balanced approach combining community participation, innovative public-private partnerships, and integration of traditional heritage values with modern engagement techniques.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Alfonz Edward Baliwag"],"date":"2025-08-15","doi":"10.70838/pemj.450208","id":6164,"issue":2,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"a808ad1ab4dddc449c354fdf0b66c94c9c2bb9db834cef7462b0d55619fec852","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"The Historical and Cultural Preservation of the Jesuit House 1730 of Cebu City Philippines","volume":45}
