The 114th anniversary of the independence of the
Philippine Republic is being celebrated today. Considering that Malolos was the
seat of this Republic, I will be sharing some pictures of the historical shrine Barasoain Church.
The First Philippine Congress convened there on September 15, 1898. The church also
saw the drafting of the Malolos Constitution from September 29, 1898 to January 21, 1899. The First Philippine Republic was
inaugurated there on January 23, 1899.
Barasoain Church
was declared a National Shrine by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 260 on August 1, 1973.
