• Originality and creativity;
  
• Potential usefulness and overall value of the image (including its licensing) to the Wikimedia projects.

• This project is crucially important because it will raise awareness about the Philippines' built heritage, namely through its historical monuments, which currently suffer from lack of institutional support and vulnerable to real estate speculators. At the same time, this action will also raise awareness in the Philippines about the role of Wikimedia Commons in safeguarding these culturally important sites and encourage greater Filipino participation in Wikipedia, more broadly.

• I support on this project, because it will raise and also promote the Philippine built heritages, and making interesting to know its background or history also :) -- ShiminUfesoj 11:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
• This project will really help to contribute images on some articles of Wikipedia. It is a very good initiative! Time goes by, ancient monuments in the Philippines soon will be vanished. This noble initiative is a great help to preserve the monuments, at least on images, to see its significant story, culture, and history. MarvinBikolano 6:52, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
