Baclaran Church nais ni Sen. Jinggoy Estrada na maideklarang heritage site
Isinusulong ni Senator Jinggoy Estrada na maideklarang heritage site ang National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help sa Baclaran, Parañaque City.

“Wednesdays are acknowledged as ‘Baclaran Day’ by many Filipino Catholic families and visited by thousands of pilgrims, as much as 150,000 devotees from all walks of life, every week,” sabi ni Estrada, na isang deboto ng Ina ng Laging Saklolo.
Katuwiran ng senador bahagi ng buhay-ispirituwal ng mga Filipino ang naturang simbahan bukod pa sa mayamang tradisyon ng mg Katoliko sa bansa.
“The Redemptorist Church, also known as the National Shrine, is undeniably one of the most popular churches in the Philippines and is considered one of the largest Marian churches in the country, attracting a multitude of devotees as well as tourists,” aniya.
Dagdag pa nito: “This declaration aims to institutionalize a policy that will preserve its historical and sociocultural importance, ensuring the accessibility, convenience, and security of its numerous visitors through the construction, installation, and maintenance of appropriate facilities and infrastructure in the area.”
Kapag nasunod ang nais ni Estrada, bubuo ng isang tourism development plan para sa lugar ang Department of Tourism (DOT), National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), ang Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), at ang lokal na pamahalaan.
Nabatid na ang 65-anyos na simbahan ay may disenyo nina Cesar Concio at Jesse Bontoc.
