A Taste of History

Because of my job which gets me around places, I was able to have a stop over at one of the most important places that's been a part of Philippine History...the house of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Republic of the Philippines. It's located in Kawit, Cavite. This house was where the Philippine flag was first raised and the Philippine National Anthem was first sung, during the declaration of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898.

It's nice to see that it's well-preserved by the local government. It is now a park where people, most especially kids hang around.

Our country is so rich in history, and looking back is just so sweet!:)
