US EditionBohol’s Asin Tibuok Inscribed in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List - BusinessWorld Online
- On Tuesday, December 9, the Provincial Government of Bohol announced Asin Tibuok was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in Need of Urgent Safeguarding during the 20th Session at the Historic Red Fort in New Delhi, India.
- National agencies nominated the practice to the Urgent Safeguarding list, citing the centuries-old craft by Boholano salt makers, the mang-asinay, as a living heritage needing preservation.
- The nomination was prepared by a coalition including the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines, National Museum, and local groups such as KASAMA, Tan-inong Asin Tibook, and Alburquerque Salt Potters.
- IPOPHL previously granted a Geographical Indication for Asin Tibuok, and officials say this recognition will strengthen efforts to safeguard the practice and support local communities in Bohol.
- Environmental pressures on Bohol's salt makers have threatened Asin Tibuok production, and officials say the Urgent Safeguarding listing may mobilize resources for community stakeholders and local cultural organisations.
