"It's a heritage building," Tinga said, "and we're really committed to maintaining the structure, the facade, and interiors designed by national artists." The renovation aims to modernize the CCP while preserving its unique architectural style. Beyond the building's upgrade, Tinga emphasized the CCP's commitment to nationwide arts programs, including dance workshops and orchestra outreach initiatives.
