Relative thereto, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) announces the observance of the 2023 National Heritage Month. This year's theme, innovates to preserve products of human creativity and recognize the need to create consciousness, respect, and love for the legacies of Filipino cultural history.

b. Heritage Science: an interdisciplinary domain of study involving the use of innovative and creative interventions in the understanding, conservation, and use of heritage;
c. Intangible Cultural Heritage: intergenerational transmission and the provision of a sense of identity across time, where transmission relies upon constant re-creation in the present context; and
