The NHCP joins Christians in our country in observing Maundy Thursday which commemorates the last night before Jesus Christ was crucified.

This day has been codified as a public holiday since 1 February 1902 through Act No. 345 by the Philippine Commission. Its status has been retained by the Administrative Code of 1987 (Executive Order No. 292, 25 July 1987).

Our Central Office in Manila and History Museums throughout the country are closed. Regular operations of museums resume on Easter Sunday, 5 April 2026.





📷 Jesus Christ instituting the Holy Eucharist depicted in a ceiling painting of the Holy Trinity Parish Church in Loay, Bohol. Built in 1822, it was declared as a national historical landmark in 2003. After a devastating earthquake in 2013, it was restored by the NHCP and reopened to the public on 15 October 2018.

The Quezon Memorial Shrine Goes Dark for Earth Hour

The Quezon Memorial Shrine momentarily vanished from the skyline tonight, joining millions of landmarks worldwide in darkening its lights. This symbolic act serves as a powerful testament to our collective commitment to a sustainable future.

The switch-off sends a vital message: cultural heritage and environmental preservation are inseparable. To truly honor our past, we must protect the environment that sustains our future.
