The rock art of Angono is the most famous and controversial rock art site in the
Philippines. It has been 50 years since the rock art was discovered, studied and interpreted.
This paper identifies two phases of rock art production and uses 3D modelling and Geographic
Information System (GIS) enhancements to corroborate the interpretation. Furthermore, by
digitally tracing the figures we have produced a more accurate and complete record of the
rock art. The digital record allows for statistical descriptions and interpretations previously
not available, as well as providing a baseline for monitoring the rock art at the site.The rock art of Angono is the most famous and controversial rock art site in the
