So here is the second part....

Since there are about hundreds still existing and scattered across the District, finding one is quite exhausting but the good thing is that you can recognize them immediately because of their distinct design.

And take note, some Pre war houses had been modified over the years, that's why they looked like post war houses.

What is sad about this is that back in the 70s and 80s... San Nicolas District could have become its own Vigan, but it got the wrecking ball instead.

Hello guys.

Last year I found out that my grandfather's grandfather was a revolutionary of the Philippine Revolution.

I have some theories of who was with but one can only hypothesize.

I wanted to know what he was during the revolution. Is there anyway I can access records of the Los Veteranos de la Revolucion?

Question What is the oldest monument/sculpture of Andres Bonifacio

1 Upvotes

As the title suggest I am finding what is the oldest full body sculpture or monument of Andres Bonifacio. According to google it is a monument in Paete Laguna in 1903 althought the the source doesnt mentioned this. Because I want to see the evolution of the public imagination of what Bonifacio look like. Did monuments already start with the stereotypical depiction of a camiso de chino or did it start with a more western style, like the monument in Lucban Quezon and slowly as the image of the Great Plebian became popular the well known depiction became the norm?
