The Bahay Nakpil-Bautista was declared a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) on August 25, 2011.
On 2014, the Bahay will reach its 100th year.
FOR ITS PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE
In consonance with its new status and with the approach of its centennial year, a revitalization program was launched on October 21, 2011 with the Bahay Nakpil-Bautista Foundation Inc. entering into an agreement with Architect Michael F. Manalo, Project Director of the Escuela Taller Intramuros, for a pilot project covering the repainting of the anteroom (caida) area of the house.
The Foundation also acknowledges the valuable guidance it receives from the Philippine Institute of Architects’ President, Architect Joel Rico.
To our building partners, “Thank you!”, and we look forward to more joint projects with you!

As an architect, it is such a stupendous experience to see this architecturally significant historical site. I’ve been there quite a few times and each visit is such a treat! Thanks to the unceasing enthusiasm of Arch. Joel V. Rico who constantly shares his consuming passion for Architecture and History.
Architect Joel Vivero Rico and his projects are unparalleled.:)
The best ka architect joel vivero rico! Salamat sa walang sawa mong paggabay!
