Manila Mayor Lito Atienza has ordered Plaza Cervantes in Binondo secured following the discovery of what appeared to be centuries-old artifacts dating back to the Spanish era.
A pipe-laying crew of Maynilad Water dug up a portion of what appeared to be a cobblestone street several days ago.
Atienza instructed City Engineer Armand Andres and Museo ng Maynila officer-in-charge Monina Santiago to coordinate with the National Historical Institute "to ensure that not a single piece of what would be a precious legacy is damaged or pilfered."
Binondo was Manila’s main business district during the Spanish colonial era.
