Malolos, Bulacan

I have seen and visited the place so many times but this is my first time to take pictures of it and blog it.. 


The first time I went here was when my uncle got married in Malolos, Bulacan in the late 90s. Then way back year 2007, almost twice a month, I would be going here to visit someone. 

Recently, last January 12, 2014, after paying a visit to someone, I roamed around the city and took pictures of the various tourist spots in Malolos.

First spot to visit - the historical Barasoain Church.




The church played a significant role of Philippine history.

It is the place where the Revolutionary Congress convened in 1898 and where the Malolos Constitution was passed.

Second stop - Casa Real Shrine



A five minute walk from the Barasoain Church, Casa Real Shrine is part of one's tour of Malolos. 

It also played a significant role in Philippine history as declared by the National Historical Institute.

Open - Tuesday to Sunday
8:00 am to 4:00 pm 

Third stop is the biggest church - Malolos Cathedral

The convent was the place where Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo held office as President of the the First Philippine Republic from 1898-1899.


Last Stop -   Sta. Isabel Church



While I was hearing mass inside the Cathedral, I asked someone if there was another old church within the vicinity of Malolos and luckily, there was this church. I paid P40.00 for a tricycle ride from the Cathedral to this church and it was 10 minute ride .

After seeing the church and praying for the third time, I went back home in Batangas.
