THE Henry Sy Foundation (HSFI), West Visayas State University (WVSU) and SM Foundation recently signed a memorandum of agreement for the adaptive restoration of the century-old Quezon Hall, an initiative to preserve a key educational heritage in Iloilo City.

Bulwagang Quezon, a landmark structure, dating back to 1926, weathered the destruction of World War 2. It was rebuilt in 1946 under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act. Over the decades, the building underwent various minor renovations but the hall had not seen a major rehabilitation since its post-war reconstruction.

This collaborative undertaking aimed to return the building to its former glory and adapt it for modern educational needs. It also hoped to benefit current and future WVSU students while also preserving an important landmark in the history of education in the Western Visayas.

The HSFI, known for its mission to empower youth and foster a culture of achievement, was supporting this endeavor as part of its broader goal to drive Philippine social development through educational grants.
