Val Sandiego, head of the Carcar Heritage Conservation Society (an affiliate of the HCS), is probably the first candidate ever in the Philippines to run on a heritage-based platform.
Sandiego is a candidate for Mayor in Carcar, the most important heritage town in Cebu province.
Actively involved in the conservation of Carcar heritage, Sandiego has intiated and participated heritage activities including formulating and lobbying for conservation legislation, establishing cultural tourism programs, and organizing a series of yearly festivals that have successfully revived the vanishing traditions of the lovely heritage town.
Sandiego expressed frustration over incumbent local officials' "neglect in supporting their visions in preserving the heritage of Carcar," Val Sandiego, a heritage advocate, choreographer, and art director, "spent sleepless nights with fervent prayers before finally deciding to answer his calling."
Running as an independent candidate, Sandiego is challenging the incumbent Mayor Patrick Barcenas.
