However, the city government opted to hold the formal ceremony this week as part of the highlights for National Heritage Month.

The unveiling ceremony also included the signing of a certificate officially transferring the NCT markers to the Cebu City government.

Officials who led the signing were outgoing Mayor Raymond Garcia and Vice Mayor Donaldo Hontiveros, along with Philip Rodriguez, a member of the board of trustees of the National Museum of the Philippines, and Mario Marababol, administrative officer of NMP-Cebu.

"These sites are more than just stones and mortars, they are testaments. Testaments to the resilience, testaments to the courage, and testaments to the evolution of our people," outgoing Mayor Raymond Garcia said.
