𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗜 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗞𝗘

With the recent reports on the 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake in Sarangani Bay earlier today, 8 June 2026, the NHCP reiterates these reminders to all caretakers of heritage in the affected areas:

1. Please do not attempt to enter damaged structures without prior coordination with local authorities, and only after confirming that aftershocks have ceased and the area is deemed safe. Your safety is paramount.

2. Secure the premises of the structure and protect entry and exit points to deter kibitzers and unnecessary people from entering. You can use barricades and caution ribbons for this.

3. Check the stability of the structure before doing any retrieval/salvage work. Wear protective clothing ( i.e. hard hats, appropriate gloves, brightly colored clothes) before entering the premises of damaged buildings.
4. Document/take photographs of damaged objects. Be wary of debris that might fall down on you.

5. With utmost care, retrieve and wrap the objects if possible with japanese tissue/clean cloth on sturdy boxes, taking as many broken parts as you can. If circumstances permit, label and group various broken parts together for easier identification later. It is IMPORTANT to retreive at the soonest time, the damaged objects as they are prone to further damages (should aftershocks occur, or heavy rains, etc.) and in the case of damaged and unguarded buildings, thieves and vandals.

6. If time and circumstances permit, it is recommended that other undamaged moveable objects be also retrieved for protection.

7. Bring the retrieved objects to a safe place identified by the heritage site administrator/s and away from the damaged structure. Take detailed photographs of damage incurred and label broken parts. Do create a quick inventory which contains the name of the object, measurements, component materials, present condition and damage/s observed.

8. Consult professionals and skilled artisans in the restoration of the damaged objects.

We are committed to supporting efforts to safeguard our cultural heritage and stand ready to provide technical guidance as needed. We stand in solidarity with all affected citizens in these events.

𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥: Be careful of the photos that you upload on social media as this can be used as reference for displacers, thieves and unwanted personages.

Your personal safety is of utmost concern. Again, do not attempt to enter damaged buildings without consultation and coordination with site administrators and experts. You may report and contact the National Historical Commission of the Philippines at our social media pages or at [email protected] / [email protected]

Isang tunay na 𝗞𝗮-𝗞𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗬-𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 ang handog ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines sa paglulunsad ng "𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐚 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐭: 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤" sa ika-8 ng Hunyo sa Metropolitan Theater!

Isa itong interaktibong aklat na may layuning itanim sa kabataan ang pagmamahal at paggalang sa pangunahing simbolo ng ating pagkabansa - ang Pambansang Watawat. Sa paggabay ni Yani, subukin ang ating pagkamalikhain sa pagtahak sa mga mapanghamong maze at pagbibigay-kulay sa iba't-ibang mga pahina! Mas kapana-panabik pa dahil bawat kopya ay may kalakip na kiddie mask para sa mga bata upang mailabas nila ang kanilang inner "Yani!"

The NHCP Museo ni Jose Rizal Fort Santiago joins the nation in celebrating the National Flag Days from May 28 to June 12.

This observance commemorates the first public display of the Philippine flag after Filipino revolutionaries defeated Spanish forces at the Battle of Alapan in Imus, Cavite, on May 28, 1898.

In celebration of National Flag Days, the museum is distributing flags to its visitors. Throughout this period, all government offices, agencies, instrumentalities, business establishments, institutions of learning, and private homes are encouraged to display the National Flag.

𝗕𝗨𝗞𝗔𝗦 𝗡𝗔 ang simula ng National Flag Days, kaya nagdedekorasyon na ang mga museo at makasaysayang pook na nasa pangangalaga ng NHCP.

Nagsisimula ang National Flag Days sa 28 Mayo bilang paggunita sa anibersaryo ng Labanan ng Alapan, ang unang pangunahing tagumpay ng mga Pilipino nang magsimula muli ang Himagsikan. Dahil sa labis na galak, iwinagayway ni Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo ang Pambansang Watawat sa unang pagkakataon sa kaniyang himpilan sa kasalukuyang Lungsod ng Cavite.

Hinihikayat ang lahat na magsabit ng Pambansang Watawat sa kanilang mga tahanan, paaralan, at tanggapan hanggang Araw ng Kalayaan, 12 Hunyo.
