Just a few minutes away from the Barasoain Church is the Casa Real Shrine. During the Spanish period, it served as the residence and office of the Gobernadorcillo. It was also the Imprenta Nacional or the Printing Press which printed copies of the 1896 Constitution and several newspapers during the Philippine Revolution.
Now, it is the Museum of Philippine Political History that showcases several memorabilia of our nation's past presidents. Since it is located along the main street, we parked at the nearby Malolos Cathedral and walked about 2 minutes to the Casa Real Shrine.
Parking fee is 25 pesos while entrance to the museum is free.
Whenever I go to museums, I am always in awe and really impressed that we are able to preserve remnants/items/relics from our past. Museums are important because it makes us appreciate not only our heroes but also the ordinary people who sacrificed and endured various challenges so that the present and future generation can experience freedom and democracy. Sometimes, we take for granted our civil, social, spiritual and even political liberties. Sad truth, unfortunately.
