A Visit to Barasoain Church

After visiting my Lolo's house in Baliuag, I decided to drive to Malolos to visit the historic Barasoain Church. It's been such a long time when I last visited Barasoain. Yet, its still there in all its majesty--possibly the Philippines most historic church. I won't write much today (too tired) so I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

The monument of Emilio Aguinaldo in front of the church. General Aguinaldo established the Malolos Republic (The First Philippine Republic) in the Barasoain Church in the year 1899.


The original carriage used by General Aguinaldo during his parade on the occasion of the inauguration of the Malolos Republic. The horse died many years ago.
