List of historical markers of the Philippines in the Cordillera Administrative Region
This list of historical markers installed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) in Cordillera Administrative Region 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.
Gates of the Mansion House in Baguio. The markers are in Ilocano, Filipino, and English.
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.
The first historical marker in the Ilocano language was unveiled in 2009 for the Mansion House, Baguio City.
For former NHCP Chairperson Maria Serena Diokno, the presence of the historical marker affirmed the historical significance of the City Hall site in Baguio against alterations on the said site under the National Cultural Heritage Act. The historicity was affirmed despite the lack of resolutions or consultations regarding the historical significance of the site.[1]
