MANILA, 23 OCTOBER 2023 – The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) celebrated its 90th anniversary with a ceremonial launching of its Centennial Celebrations for 2023 at the Presidential Car Museum, Quezon City. The program “Patuloy sa Pagtuklas,” adopted as the NHCP Centennial Theme, symbolized the agency’s commitment of service to our nation and our history. Throughout the program, performances from the Rizal Technological University Alumni Association Chorale and poet-artist Prof. Vim Nadera, narrated the history of the NHCP from its humble beginnings in 1933 to the present day.  

In his message, NHCP Chairman Emmanuel Franco Calairo noted that “Patuloy sa Pagtuklas” serves as “a challenge to continue our mission of discovery in the midst of a rapidly changing world, and a reminder to all Filipinos of our capacity to live up to and beyond the dreams and aspirations of those who came before us.”  

The NHCP is the principal government agency mandated to strengthen our people’s nationalism through the promotion of our history and protection of our heritage. It traces its history from the Philippine Historical Research and Markers Committee established in 1933 and the National Historical Institute in 1974.
