NHI Solignum Interior Turnover |
Historic places give background to great stories of triumphs, conflicts
and challenges only made known through history books.
Just recently in Bohol, many heritage sites have sustained
damage from the strong earthquake that hit the area in 2013. Most of these damages are almost
irreparable. Unknown to most people, many other historical structures suffer
damages as well. From the structure’s wear-and-tear through time as an
aftermath of water damage resulting to the growth of molds; influx wood-boring
insects and the most common and most destructive, termite-infestation.
In 2007, Jardine Distribution
Inc. (JDI) a known distribution company and Osmose Protim, the maker of
Solignum wood preservatives, formed a partnership with the National Historical
Institute (NHI) to protect the heritage structures from damages caused by
termites.
Last January 24, JDI and NHI further capitalized on this partnership
by joining hands in restoring the Museo ni Apolinario Mabini located at PUP
Sta. Mesa.
As part of the repair and
restoration done to the Museo ni Apolinario Mabini, Solignum Interior wood
preservative was applied to the wooden structures to prevent a new termite
infestation. Apart from donating
Solignum for the site’s restoration, JDI also trained the NHI curators on total
termite solutions.

“Our historical sites are
tangible reminders of our identity as Filipinos. They re-tell stories of
heroism and love for country that will inspire future generations of Filipinos.
Because of their invaluable historical and cultural value, JDI has committed
itself to help in their protection and preservation,” said Edwin Hernandez,
President and General Manager of Jardine Distribution.
Jardine Distribution, Inc.

protection and construction chemical products. They are focused on the safe use
of these products, providing technical support, and with due consideration of
