Abstract With the Philippines' rich historical and cultural heritage, tourism remains a vital sector and is one of the greatest contributors to its rising economy. Manila, its capital, has a vast list of historical and cultural places that mirrors the country’s rich historical and cultural heritage. The developers were inspired to develop a mobile application called KaByahe with the purpose to determine the different historical and cultural places within Manila and serve as its users' own guide in exploring more of its historical and cultural roots. The developers strongly believe that this project is important not only for the benefit of the tourists in exploring Manila, but also, for its local people, to aid them in knowing what has transpired beyond these places and promote appreciation and understanding of the city’s origins. The developers used Agile Development Methodology since the strategy is to develop using short development cycles to focus more on addressing potential issues and produce quality output per cycle. With this, the developers were able to work more efficiently and collaboratively. The developers were able to gather substantial information through various testing procedures conducted to address both functional and nonfunctional requirements. Based on the results of these, KaByahe was deemed to successfully meet the objectives set by the developers.
