Thirty four historical markers will be unveiled in several sites in the Philippines as part of the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the country.
The markers were installed on site with the help of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The markers collectively depict select events of the Magellan-Elcano voyage in the Philippine archipelago.
The reliefs are made by sculptors Jonas Roces and Francis Apiles and are based on sketches by muralist Derrick Macutay.
The NHCP described the designs as a deviation from typical "orientalist" depictions by foreigners of pre-colonial Filipinos as savages.
