Section 7
SEC. 7. In the designation of a particular cultural property to "cultural treasure", the following procedure shall be observed: Before the actual designation, the owner, if the property is privately owned, shall be notified at least fifteen days prior to the intended designation, and he shall be invited to attend the deliberations and be given a chance to be heard. Decision shall be given by the panel within a week after its deliberation. In the event that the owner desires to seek reconsideration of the designation made by the panel, he may do so within thirty days from the date that the decision has been rendered. If no request for reconsideration is filed after this period, the designation is then considered final and executory. Any request for reconsideration filed within thirty days and subsequently again denied by the panel, may be further appealed to another panel chairmaned by the Secretary of Education, with two experts as members appointed by the President of the Philippines. Their decision shall be final and binding. For each kind or class of objects, only type and five best duplicates may be designated as "cultural treasures". The remainder, if any, shall be treated as cultural property. Designated "cultural treasures" shall be permanently and consciously marked, describes and photograph. The owner retains possession of the same but the museum shall keep a record containing such information as name of article, owner, period, source, location, description, photograph, identifying marks, approximate value, and other such pertinent data.
