Bakas Pilipinas <URL:http://www.bakaspilipinas.org> is a New
York-based not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help
preserve historic architecture and sites in the Philippines. The
group has adopted the restoration of San Sebastian Basilica in
Manila as its first demonstration project.

Bakas Pilipinas Inc. invites you to a presentation on exciting new
research about the deterioration of the historic interior finishes
of San Sebastian Basilica, a Philippine National Landmark.

Built in 1891, San Sebastian Basilica is the only all-metal church
in the country and one of a few in Asia. The church interior is
painted to simulate stone. Corroding metal threatens the future of
the trompe l'oeil interior finishes. The presentation, featuring the
work of Christine Leggio, Paint Conservator, will include an update
on the investigation phase of the restoration project.

Ticket proceeds will fund a research project to determine how the
restoration may be of benefit to the community surrounding the
Basilica.

Tickets are $25; ($10 for students). Ticket amounts are tax
deductible. Seating is limited.
