Test case as it seems borderline between architectural art and ordinary structure. To note there is no freedom of panorama in the Philippines. It was erected in 1979, so post 1972. According to this site (with some important emphases):

Salakot Arch is a landmark of Angeles. From 1902 to 1979, Clark Air Base remained a U.S. territory, guaranteed by the Military Bases Agreement in 1947. In 1978, the Philippines, under the dispensation of the former President Ferdinand Marcos, and the U.S. finally agreed to establish Philippine sovereignty over the U.S. bases and thus the Clark Air Base Command (CABCOM) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines came into being, following the signing of a revised Military Bases Agreement on January 7, 1979. To commemorate this unprecedented and bold event, the government constructed a special structure based upon the design of a salakot or native hat, which soon became a widely recognized symbol of this renewed Filipino spirit.

Inferring from this, it seems the work has some architectural characteristics and is a no ordinary structure. The final decision may impact most or all of commercially-licensed photos at Category:Salakot Arch. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 14:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
