Global InformationList of historical markers of the Philippines in Central Luzon information
This list of historical markers installed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) in Central Luzon (Region III) is an annotated list of people, places, or events in the region that have been commemorated by cast-iron plaques issued by the said commission. The plaques themselves are permanent signs installed in publicly visible locations on buildings, monuments, or in special locations.
While many Cultural Properties have historical markers installed, not all places marked with historical markers are designated into one of the particular categories of Cultural Properties.
A marker on the site of the assassination of Aurora Aragon Quezon in Bongabon was rededicated on the site on April 28, 2013, after the original marker dated February 13, 1991, went missing.[1]
There has been an issue regarding the possible relocation of a historical marker dedicated to Francisco "Soc" Rodrigo in Bulakan over ownership issues of the heritage house.[2]
The historical marker for José Rizal in Tarlac City was reported to be in a state of rot in 2011.[3] The marker was relocated and put in a better position in front of the city plaza after 58 years of neglect.[4]
On June 3, 2016, it was the first time for the NHCP to unveil a marker for a nameless personality. A marker was installed in Macabebe, commemorating the leader of the Battle of Bangkusay Channel, the "first native to give up his life for independence."[5]
The first historical marker in the Kapampangan language was unveiled on August 17, 2017, for the Holy Rosary Parish Church of Angeles City. This also served as a rectification for the earlier marker of the Pamintuan Mansion saying that the said house was the site of the first anniversary celebration of the independence of the Philippines. Thus, replacement markers were also installed for the said house.[6]
This article lists two hundred eight (208) markers from the region of Central Luzon, including four (4) that are part of the Philippine Nationhood Trail markers series.
