Ngayong 19–23 Oktubre 2026, ipinagdiriwang ng Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan ng Pilipinas (NHCP) ang ika-93 anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag nito sa temang “𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐚𝐠-𝐔𝐮𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐲.”

Ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas ay binubuo ng napakaraming kuwento. Mula sa iba't ibang pulo at pamayanan, mula sa karanasan ng mga karaniwang mamamayan hanggang sa mga pangyayaring nagpabago sa takbo ng ating bayan, bawat salaysay ay may lugar sa mas malawak na kasaysayan ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Sa temang “𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐚𝐠-𝐔𝐮𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐲,” binibigyang-halaga natin ang gawain ng mga historyador sa pagtuklas, pagsusuri, at pag-uugnay ng mga salaysay na ito. Sa pamamagitan ng masusing pag-aaral ng nakaraan, naipapakita kung paanong ang kasaysayan ng isang pamayanan ay kaugnay ng kasaysayan ng buong bansa, kung paanong ang mga pangyayari noon ay may kabuluhan sa ating kasalukuyan, at kung paanong ang magkakaibang karanasan ay bahagi ng iisang pambansang kasaysayan.

Sa loob ng 93 taon, itinaguyod ng NHCP at ng mga institusyong sinundan nito ang pag-aaral at pagpapalaganap ng kasaysayang Pilipino. Sa pamamagitan ng pananaliksik, mga publikasyon, paggunita, pangangalaga sa mga makasaysayang pook, at pakikipagtulungan sa iba't ibang pamayanan, patuloy nating inilalapit ang kasaysayan sa sambayanan.

Habang tinatahak natin ang landas ng 𝐷𝑒𝑘𝑎𝑑𝑎 𝑛𝑔 𝐾𝑎𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑛 𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑠 tungo sa 2033, nananatili ang ating layunin: palalimin ang pag-unawa sa ating nakaraan at patatagin ang mga ugnayang bumubuo sa ating pagkakakilanlan bilang isang bansa.

Ngayong Oktubre, samahan ninyo kaming ipagdiwang ang 93 taon ng paglilingkod sa kasaysayan at pamanang Pilipino.

Sapagkat sa bawat kuwentong ating natutuklasan, mas nakikilala natin ang isa't isa at ang bayang ating kinabibilangan. 🇵🇭

This October, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines joins the nation in celebrating Museums and Galleries Month (MGM) 2026 with the theme, “Bridging Divides: Preserving the Present for Tomorrow.”

Observed every October pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 798, s. 1991, MGM celebrates the important role of museums and galleries in nurturing national consciousness, strengthening our connection with our cultural heritage, and carrying the stories of our communities forward. More than repositories of objects from the past, museums are living spaces for learning, dialogue, and discovery.

For the NHCP, these spaces extend across the country through our shrines, museums, and historical landmarks. They preserve the places where history happened, safeguard objects and memories that help tell our national story, and bring Filipinos closer to the lives, struggles, ideas, and communities that shaped our nation.

This year’s theme reminds us that history and heritage can help bridge distances between generations, communities, and different experiences. Museums become meaningful when the histories they preserve are shared, discussed, questioned, and made accessible to the people whose stories they tell.

Throughout October, we celebrate the people and communities who keep these places alive and the visitors who continue to discover something new within them.

Here’s to a month of exploring, remembering, and making history come alive! 🏛️🇵🇭

Pag-atiman: Caring for Our Paper Heritage

Today, we gathered for “Pag-atiman: Caring for Our Paper Heritage,” a public program dedicated to raising awareness about the proper care, handling, and preservation of our valuable paper heritage.

Through this activity, participants learned the basic principles of paper conservation, including proper handling, storage, cleaning, and preventive care of historical documents, manuscripts, books, and other paper-based materials.

Paper heritage carries the stories, memories, and knowledge of generations. By learning how to care for these materials, we help ensure that they remain accessible and meaningful for the generations to come.

Pag-atiman is more than caring for paper—it is caring for the history and heritage entrusted to us.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this meaningful activity. May we continue to work together in protecting, preserving, and promoting our shared cultural heritage.

We join the NHCP in remembering Tomas Cloma on his 122nd birth anniversary and 30th death anniversary.

Born in Panglao, he was trained to be a lawyer but made a name for himself in the fishing industry. He inadvertently advanced the Filipino ownership of Kalayaan, Palawan when he triggered a response from the Philippine government after establishing the micronation of Freedomland.

𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛: 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗠𝗔'𝗦 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗚

On the 30th death anniversary of Tomas Cloma, we feature this flag of Freedomland, the nation he attempted to establish in Bajos de Paragua.

Although trained as a lawyer, he saw the economic potential of what is internationally known as the Spratlys. It is the breeding ground of so many fish that supported his fishing business. After receiving little acknowledgment from the Philippine government at that time, he proclaimed that he had established Freedomland.

This helped prompt the Philippine government to send military personnel to assert our ownership of the maritime features. This eventually led to the settling of civilians and the establishment of the municipality of Kalayaan, Palawan.

As an act of loyalty to the Philippines and to remind its government of our ownership of the islands, Cloma gave this flag to Delegate Amado S. Tolentino, Jr. who was part of the Committee on National Territory of the 1971 Constitutional Convention. Tolentino donated the flag to the NHCP as part of its Constitution exhibit and this valuable object has since joined the travelling exhibit, "Pagasa sa Gitna ng Kalayaan."

This feature is part of our celebration of Maritime and Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month this September 2026.

The NHCP invites Filipinos, students, and history enthusiasts, to sign and support the passing of the Lakambini Bill, an act that aims to reinforce and emphasize our ✨𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒔✨ in the teaching of Philippine History.

Through this bill, our future inheritors, the Filipino youth, will learn from the women who fought for independence, equality and inclusivity towards the building of a Filipino society where women’s voices can be heard, and stand on equal footing. This monumental bill coincides with the NHCP's designation of 2027 as the Year of Women in Philippine History.
