00:00 Cebu leaders issue calls for the immediate return of four panels stolen in the late 1980s
00:06 that reemerged at the National Museum of the Philippines.
00:09 The panels were donated by private collectors Edwin and Aileen Bautista.
00:14 Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma says the removal of the wooden panels from the pulpit of the
00:19 Archdiocesan Shrine of Patrocino de Maria Santissima constitutes sacrilege.
00:25 Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia invites the NMP to Cebu to start a constructive dialogue
00:30 on the return of the panels.
00:32 In a statement, the National Museum says it is eager to facilitate sharing the four panels
00:36 with the people of Cebu as soon as possible.
00:40 The NMP adds the artifacts have "dynamic ownership and circulation."
00:45 Cebu Provincial Government Consultant Ben Cabrido Jr. says there is no dynamic ownership
00:50 because ownership cannot be transferred through theft or robbery.
00:55 you
