National Historical Commission of the Philippines

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP; Filipino: Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan ng Pilipinas) is a government agency of the Philippines. Its mission is "the promotion of Philippine history and cultural heritage through research, dissemination, conservation, sites management and heraldry works." As such, it "aims to inculcate awareness and appreciation of the noble deeds and ideals of our heroes and other illustrious Filipinos, to instill pride in the Filipino people and to rekindle the Filipino spirit through the lessons of history." == History == While the current form of the NHCP was established in 1972 as part of the reorganization of government after President Ferdinand Marcos' declaration of martial law, its roots can be traced back to 1933 when the American colonial Insular Government first established the Philippine Historical Research and Markers Committee (PHRMC).
