Taal,Batangas and Kawit,Cavite

The church in 1755
Basilica of St.Martins of tours was biggest church in the Orient. It was built in 1755 but it was rebuilt a century later after it destroyed by earthquake in 1849. The Church was completed in 1878. It’s so beautiful and huge.


I entered into the Church, I saw the altar was originally but some of the ceiling have broken so that its rebuilt the ceiling was made again because it’s so beautiful. I felt wonderful because the walls have design and the altar is gold. It’s more beautiful.

Escuela Pia statue



Escuela Pia was originally constructed in 1853 to temporarily house the Virgin and hold masses during the construction of the Basilica. She became home of the Colegio de la Sagrada Familia for school. She taught the lesson, music and training anything because she wants to encourage people become aware more and self worth as value in cultural center.







Marcela Agoncillo museum: Marcela Agoncilla lives at Taal Batangas in her house. She had husband named was  Don Felipe Agoncilla and her six daughter named Lorenza, Gregoria, Eugenia, Marcela, Adela and Maria. When she made sewn by hands for First Philippines flag the she gave it Emilio Aguinaldo has Independence on June 12, 1898. It’s so beautiful and quality. She was kind and good woman. Her house was huge and beautiful in her room.

Marcela Agoncillo




Marcela Agoncillo wrote the letter and paper on the table.

        Filipino people believe that the image of Our Lady of Caysasay refuses to stay still in its niche, it is moved from Taal Basilica every Thursday and moved back on Saturday afternoon. Devotees of Taal lovingly refer to her as Birheng Gala (Wandering Virgin). I have pray that I have need to make wish for the future.







The town is famous for the century-old mass production of the sweet brittle made with peanuts and heavy brown molasses called panutcha. It''s so  delicious and sweet.

Emilio Aguinaldo House at Kawit, Cavite.
           I saw House of history June 12, 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippines Independence Day for freedom because he refuse slave, suffer, war and oppress with people. He wants to freedom for people when people were happy and support for Emilio. Emilio own house was huge and beautiful in the ground. Sayang!!!
