how to use
For the whole of 2018, Qistoria Pilipinas Digital Project aims to physically locate, document, and connect the first 500 Historical Markers within Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Once a marker is completely processed, a Quick Response (QR) Code is generated for the intended link-up to be made available to users.
Where will the QR Codes be found?
1. We intend to place an actual QR Code in the immediate vicinity of each marker wherever they may be found (physical geographic location). A QR Code once scanned, will give the user additional information on the subject beyond the usually short, and limited information offered by the marker encryption. As long as an internet connection is available, immediate access to related articles, videos, and updates are delivered right into the user's mobile device.
***This would entail actual negotiations with present site/property owners for those privately-owned, and a Memorandum of Agreement with the NHCP for state-owned/managed locations.
​​
2. Every end of a coverage year (March 2019) and thereafter, an annual compilation journal of all markers documented will be released to the public. This printed material will feature markers and their corresponding QR Codes, thereby making it possible for students and teachers to scan codes and "go on a digital learning tour" at the comfort of their schools and homes.

Note:
As QistoRia Pilipinas Digital Project is an on-going project aimed at being completed within the next 5 years, the map above only shows markers that have so far been located, covered and documented.
Markers with RED Pins are that 80 % completed, YELLOW Pins, markers with ascertained location.
This 2018, our team targets to locate and document the first 400 - 500 Historical Markers within the National Capital Region and nearby provinces.
This project will not be made possible without help from key people and organizations providing us with the needed information. For data usage and sources, proper credits were indicated in the home page or you may click HERE
