The plaques themselves are permanent signs installed in publicly visible locations on buildings, monuments, or in special locations. Many markers outside the country have been written in the local languages such as French, German, and Spanish.

The Kudan, the Philippine embassy building in Tokyo, has been declared a national historical landmark by the NHCP and was granted a historical marker on March 3, 2014. It is the first and currently the only overseas site to be granted such status.[1] During the unveiling of the marker, Ambassador Manuel Lopez called the building as the crown jewel of Philippine foreign service.[2]
