NMP RECEIVES ECC FOR COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT

Last 16 July 2025, the National Museum of the Philippines received the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) for the ongoing development of the NMP Complex in Manila.

The ECC was turned over by EMB-NCR In-Charge, Office of the Regional Director, Engr. Divina C. Camarao to NMP Director-General Jeremy Barns.

Arch. Marvin Belgica, Officer-in-Charge of the NMP’s Facilities Management Division, said that this certification honors the institution’s commitment to being stewards of our natural heritage. “We hope that this certification not only validates the care and diligence that we have put into this project, but also becomes an example that our future projects should follow,” he added.

Meanwhile, in a brief statement, Engr. Camarao mentioned that this certification “serves as a reminder of our responsibility to remain vigilant, transparent, and fully committed to protecting the environment.”

Meanwhile, DG Barns mentioned that he looks forward to further guidance from the EMB with future NMP projects moving forward. “I am sure this won’t be the last time that we will cross paths. We have so many more projects planned, and hopefully, the EMB will be there with us along the way,” he remarked.

This ECC certification is part of the NMP’s shift towards adopting sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices in developing its future museum infrastructure and facilities.
