This document discusses several projects related to digital humanities and computing in the Philippines. It describes projects involving indigenous knowledge preservation in history, linguistics, literature, art, archaeology and music. Other projects include a role-playing game about Negros Oriental history, a simulation game about a university's enrollment process and history, and a system for cataloging specimens in a natural history museum. The document emphasizes that humanities computing is interdisciplinary in nature and involves collaboration between humanities experts and computing specialists.
