00:00The National Library of the Philippines unveiled two significant artifacts today,
00:05the Recovered Philippine Insurgent Records, or PIR,
00:09and the map of the Philippines from the 1898 Treaty of Paris.
00:14The PIR includes revolutionary documents after being listed for sale online.
00:20The map, donated by Honorable Antonio Carpio and Honorable Ruth Carpio,
00:25highlights the country's territorial boundaries.

00:33marking a milestone in preserving the nation's heritage.
00:39The NLP immediately took action to recover these precious collections
00:43by contacting the seller.

01:04He has been very cooperative
01:07and immediately took down the eBay post of the three documents
01:12to allow us to confirm the ownership of the said manuscripts.
