This is the initial public release version (IPRV) of The UnknownCebu Visayas Heritage Map . As a project, this began in 2021 during the height of the pandemic under the initial title “Ancestral House Map of Cebu;” this was expanded in November 2024 to include all manner of heritage sites including, but not limited to, Battle-sites, Heritage churches, and historically significant locations. Now, UnknownCebu presents version (V1.0) of the “UnknownCebuVisayasHeritageMap” or (UVHM).
Development Logs:
V1.0 – IPRV: Initial Public Release Version has 1,641 Heritage sites with names. No descriptions currently for all of them and many sites are still not exact (especially those of battles and other historical events). Operating on GoogleMyMaps.
