When I was a kid, I only knew Barasoain church
I've been going to Malolos
Barasoain Church (also known as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish) is a Roman Catholic church built in 1630[1] in Malolos City, Bulacan. Having earned the title as the Cradle of Democracy in the East, the most important religious building in the Philippines [2], and the site of the First Philippine Republic, the Church is proverbial for its historical importance among Filipinos.
The term "Barasoain" was derived from the Filipino word "baras ng suwail", which means "dungeon of the defiant". The term was coined because the place was once the rendezvous of Filipinos who were in opposition to the laws imposed during the reign of the conquerors of the country. The term was also been attributed to a name originated from a well-known church in Navarra, Spain. Priests and missionaries who built the cathedral had gone to the place and saw a beautiful church and later named it to the one built in Malolos. - from wiki

I used to see this on the 10-peso bill lang. Naremember ko nung gradeschool, nalito pa ako sa spelling nyan. Haha.
i've only read about this church. you're so lucky you get to see it often. thank you for the photos. hope all is well.
come to think of it, i [think] i've never seen the barasoain church! i think i must see it at least once in my lifetime since it plays a huge part in our history.
it's beautiful church...
my friend and i posed for a picture under the tree and imitated the manang and the manong selling candles. hehehe!
i've only been to barasoain church in bulacan once and i wouldn't mind smelling history again via that church =)
beautiful, i have seen that on the old ten peso bill too and never remembered until you posted, haha. Nice pic. I wish i could go there too, churches as photo subjects are interesting.
one of the most historical church in the country.
This 10 peso bill is rare nowadays, as the lowest paper money being printed is the 20 peso bill. I think ni-replaced na siya ng coin na 10 pesos.
Anyway, this post gives me a tinge of nostalgia as I always drive to Malolos when I was a younger man.
Thanks for sharing, Aline.
During my high school days I have visited Malolos and nearby towns of Bulacan and I love every moments being there because it brings you back to your roots, our rich culture and history.
From the Arabian Gulf, I am wishing you a Merry Christmas.
