The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) has released special edition sticker packs to honor the significant contributions of our national heroes. This vibrant collection includes powerful figures like Gomburza, Lapu-Lapu, Jose Rizal, Antonio Luna, Emilio Aguinaldo, Gregoria De Jesus, Emilio Jacinto, and Gregorio Del Pilar—each playing a pivotal role in shaping our nation’s struggle for freedom and independence.

With artwork by talented Filipino artists Mr. Paul Dexter Tan, Ms. Relly Coquia, Mr. Rommel Aquino, and Ms. Abegail Purisima of Pureautumnarts, these stickers bring history to life, allowing both the young and the young-at-heart to appreciate the bravery, sacrifices, and patriotism of these revered heroes. Their legacies continue to inspire, reminding us of the courage it took to defend our rights and shape the future of the Philippines.

These initiatives aim to spark curiosity in the younger generation, encouraging them to learn more about the lives and contributions of our national heroes, as well as the symbolism of our National Flag—a powerful emblem of unity and pride. By integrating creative, visual storytelling, NHCP is making history more accessible, especially through these engaging sticker packs.

In addition to honoring these heroes, the sticker packs commemorate important historical events, such as the 150th birth anniversary of youth heroes, highlight the need for Material Conservation to preserve our cultural heritage, and celebrate National Flag Days through the Tapat sa Watawat pack, available during related workshops.

While these sticker packs are typically distributed during NHCP events, workshops, or training sessions, they provide a meaningful way to connect with the nation’s history. Stay tuned to NHCP’s official social media channels for announcements of upcoming events where you can grab these limited-edition stickers and deepen your understanding of the heroes and symbols that define our nation.
