The Museo ni Emilio Aguinaldo is a house of history. From one of its windows, Philippine Independence was proclaimed on June 12, 1898. The house started out in 1845 as a nipa thatched structure. In 1849 it was reconstructed as a bahay-na-bato built with limestone, hardwood, and panels of capiz windows lining the second floor. In the 1920โ€™s the house was renovated to include the famous balcony, the tower, and the family wing. The entire ground floor has been converted into a museum with an exhibit on Caviteโ€™s role in the revolution leading to the proclamation of independence. The second floor contains original period furniture and ornate wood carvings on the ceilings and walls. Secret passages and symbolic wood carvings personally designed by Emilio Aguinaldo remind the visitors of the events that transpired in our history. The exterior also contains stone carvings that evoke stately grandeur and elegance. The house is also the final resting place of President Emilio Aguinaldo, his tomb lies in the backyard overlooking the river. The Aguinaldo shrine has a floor area of about one thousand three hundred square meters and is seven-stories high. In 1963, a year before he died, Emilio Aguinaldo donated the house and a portion of the surrounding lot to the government. On the 18th of June 1964, the house was declared a national shrine.

Today, we commemorate the Battle of Imus of 1896, one of the victories of the Philippine Revolution in Cavite.

Among the historical objects associated with this battle is the saber known as the Aguirre Sword, a command saber associated with a commanding general. The surviving artifact bears the inscription โ€œDe Toledo, 1869,โ€ indicating it was manufactured in Toledo, Spain, in 1869.

The saber belonged to Brigadier General Ernesto de Aguirre, the Spanish commander who led the reinforcement sent against the Filipino revolutionary forces in Imus. On 3 September 1896, Aguirreโ€™s forces confronted the revolutionaries under Emilio Aguinaldo and Jose Tagle at Imus. The Spanish force was defeated, and it was during this battle that Aguirreโ€™s Sable de Mando fell and was taken by the revolutionaries. Gen Aguinaldo took this saber as his own, becoming his Sable de Mando.

Today, this saber is more than an old weapon. It is a tangible reminder of a moment when the balance of power shifted on the battlefield of Imus โ€” and of the courage, strategy, and determination of the Filipino revolutionaries who fought for freedom.

We remember the Battle of Imus and the people who made this victory part of our national history.

๐ŸŽ‰ Malugod na pagbati, Jojo Lopido! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

Malaking kagalakan para sa amin ang kanyang panunumpa bilang Administrative Aide ng Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan ng Pilipinas (NHCP). Nanumpa si G. Lopido sa harap ni Direktor Carminda R. Arevalo ngayong umaga, 02 Setyembre 2026.

Nagsimula si G. Lopido na manungkulan bilang contracted utility sa Dambanang Emilio Aguinaldo noong 2004. Sa loob ng mahigit dalawang dekada, ipinakita niya ang kanyang sipag, husay, katapatan, at pagiging maaasahang katuwang sa pangangalaga at paglilingkod sa dambana.

Kaya naman buong-puso naming ipinagdiriwang ang kanyang promotionโ€”isang pagkilalang tunay na karapat-dapat para sa isang taong naglilingkod nang may dedikasyon at malasakit.

Congratulations, Jojo! ๐Ÿ‘

Nawaโ€™y ipagpatuloy mo ang iyong mahusay, tapat, at makabuluhang paglilingkod. Nawaโ€™y maging simula ito ng panibagong yugto ng tagumpay at mas marami pang oportunidad sa iyong paglilingkod sa bayan.

Maligayang Kaarawan, Chairman Regalado Trota Jose Jr.!
