About OnThisDay.PH

OnThisDay.PH is a civic tech project that presents modern Philippine history in meme format — with verified sources for every entry.

The Problem

Historical revisionism is one of the biggest threats to Philippine democracy. Across social media, verified facts are twisted, downplayed, or erased. Younger generations grow up without knowing what actually happened. When people forget, accountability disappears.

Our Solution

We believe history should be accessible, shareable, and verifiable. By combining the viral nature of memes with rigorous source verification, OnThisDay.PH makes Philippine history impossible to ignore.

Every entry on the platform links back to verified sources — news articles, government records, academic publications. The community votes on accuracy, ensuring that only well-sourced entries surface to the top.

How We're Different

• Meme-first format — History that's designed to be shared, not buried in textbooks.
• Source verification — Every entry requires linked sources. No hearsay, no fake news.
• Community-driven — Filipinos submit, verify, and curate the timeline together.
• Open source — The code is public. Anyone can contribute, audit, or fork it.
• Free forever — No paywalls, no premium tiers. History belongs to everyone.
