CHURCH SHINES IN THE 125TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INAUGURATION OF THE FIRST PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC

In a celebration of historical significance, Barasoain Church, a venerable landmark in Malolos City, Bulacan, took center stage during the 125th Anniversary of the Inauguration of the First Philippine Republic. The iconic church, known for its pivotal role in the nation's history, stood as a beacon of heritage and pride during this momentous occasion.

On the hallowed grounds where the Malolos Congress convened in 23 January 1899 to ratify the Malolos Constitution, Barasoain Church became a host in the program commemorating the inauguration of the First Philippine Republic. The church's majestic halls echoed with the resonance of Philippine flags with the setup similar to the first time it hosted the convention, transporting visitors back to a time when the dream of an independent Filipino nation took its first steps.

The celebration was marked by a simple program with President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. as the guest of honor. The program highlights the deep-rooted connection between Barasoain Church and the birth of Philippine independence.

As Barasoain Church continues to stand as a living testament to the Philippines' storied past, the 125th Anniversary served as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and aspirations that shaped the nation. In the heart of Malolos, Barasoain Church once again proved itself as a shining symbol of heritage, playing an integral role in preserving the legacy of the First Philippine Republic.
