"110th Philippine Independence Celebration" Kawit by bojomacaraig

Kawit, Cavite
July 20, 2008

From Edsa you can board a bus going to Bacoor, Cavite and alight at SM Bacoor, then transfer to another bus or mini bus heading Cavite City via Kawit. Ask the driver or the conductor that you will alight at the Aguinaldo Shrine.

In this house, the Philippine Independence was declared by Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippine Republic, against Spain and America on June 12, 1898, through the reading of

THE ACT OF PROCLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE, which the full act was engraved on the black wall constructed in front of the shrine, during the occasion the current Philippine flag was officially unfurled as the band of Malabon played the National Anthem.

This house was built more than 110 years ago now called The Aguinaldo Shrine.

On June 12, 2008 was the 110th year celebration of Philippine Independence and on July 20, 2008 was my first time in front of the shrine.

The shrine is open to public during Tuesday thru Saturday. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enter just because it’s Sunday. So if you are planning to go, plan it during the days as scheduled above.
