I've actually been here years ago. I've never known such a place like this before. It's really historical and one of a kind. The caretaker was friendly and definitely she knew what's within this place.

This Apolinario Mabini Shrine is the first stop of Education Tour and this is great to start the morning . We had like an hour of reminiscing history and his life. Very good for lecturing the young generation about the heroism of this guy, the visiuals, the paintings are all amazing too. Its super worth it and good that they have a tour like this in school to educate young and young at heart.

7. Aguinaldo Shrine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Dubbed as the House of History, the Aguinaldo Mansion is the locus of a focal point in the unfolding of Philippine history. Constructed in 1845, the original structure of the house was of nipa-and-thatch material. It was reconstructed four years later using a variety of Philippine hardwood. By the 1920s, major renovation saw the construction of the tower and the symbolic balcony of the house. It was also during this period that the house was refurbished with architectural details of nationalistic themes, masonic symbols, and art nouveau and art deco’s artistic style prevalent during the early 20th century. The house where the president lived was donated to the Filipino people in 1963, a year before he passed away. In 1964, the house was placed under the care of the National Museum of the Philippines and was declared a national shrine through Republic Act No 4039. By 1972, Executive Order No 370 transferred the shrine under the care and maintenance of the National Historical Commission

It's a very well maintained informative museum. It shows the histories of the Philippine National Hero General Emilio Aguinaldo, the history of the KKK, and the house itself. This residence was the real home of Emilio Aguinaldo. It's made of amazing selections of Philippine wood and carved and styled and displayed to fully bring out the character of early 20the century Cavite (the house wasn't built during the 19th century revolution - didn't know that). Be sure to check out to the cool escape hatches, hidden flower holders, and ammunitions storage secret doors. The guides are great too.

After watching numerous of the WW-2 movies about Corregidor "Cry Havoc", and "They were Expendable" with John Wayne; I decided to make a visit to the Island of Corregidor in June 2019. My interest was seeing the island where history was made and the neighboring Bataan Peninsula. I had certain places that I wanted to see on the island. The ferry from Manila docked at Corregidor at the north dock. This is the exact dock that Lt JG John Bulkeley on PT-41 transported Gen Douglas MacArthur and his family to Mindanao in 1942. The dock is constructed of concrete with rebar and you can see where it has been repaired numerous times from the war damage of both sides. But, I wanted to walk to the end of it slowly and look back at the island to see what Gen MacArthur must have seen and felt when he stepped onto the PT boat. From the end of the dock you can see Cavite and Mariveles. The trams that give the tour are rapid paced so I was unable to spend much time near the islands north dock. My next point of interest was the Malinta Tunnel east entrance. Good tour but the tunnel is darkened for the video effects and many tripping hazards from old rail tracks down the middle. If you tour try to be near the front so you can hear the tour guide. My interest from the 3rd tunnel lateral on the north side from the east entrance. This was the Headquarters lateral for MacArthur and Gen Wainwright. Several of the Laterals have life-sized people and scenes to exhibit the events of the time. The experience is heighten by the flash and thunder of simulated bomb explosions, the soft hushed murmurs of people talking. Wish I had more time in the tunnel itself, but it is a tour in and out . Lunch for the tour was on the Islands only hotel, it was very very hot day the restaurant and loads of cold water and a buffet type food After I attempted to follow the Bataan Death March route from Mariveles back to Angeles City, it is not well marked and the road is under reconstruction. I want to go back and attempt that route after doing more research and putting some Lat's and Longs into my Garmin. "When I return", I want to spend a night on the islands hotel and see in more detail what is called TOPSIDE. This place was on my bucket list and it was emotional to walk where the US soldiers were from December 1941 till March 1942. The tour guide had excellent knowledge of the island and the period in history that I was interested in.

Museo Orlina is a veritable treasure trove of contemporary art of the internationally-acclaimed, pioneer, and foremost practitioner of glass sculpture in the Philippines, Ramon Orlina. The museum has four levels of exhibit area, a sculpture garden and amphitheater, and a roof deck to enjoy the spectacular view of Taal Lake.

The place is easy to find as it is along the highway. The road is quite steep tho. The museum has interesting pieces and if you are an Orlina fan , and frequent his art exhibits in Manila, I highly recommend you visit this museum. Aside from his work, some of his old VW cars are also displayed and his backyard is also interesting with all other artworks in collab with other artists are showcased.
