We remember today the death of Emilio Jacinto. He served as the Secretary of the Katipunan and as one of the editors of its publication, "Kalayaan." He also led the battle against the Spanish forces in Maimpis, Magdalena, Laguna. He died in Santa Cruz, Laguna on April 16, 1899. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcY1eLoBE6Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE RUSTIC CHARM OF THE OLD BOSOBOSO CHURCH During our tour of heritage churches in Rizal Province in 2020, JB Tahum turned into a small road from the wide highway. We drove through the mountainside that seemed more like a forest than a community. JB said that there was an old church in the area that he wanted me to see. Soon enough, the trees gave way to houses and the houses led to a small stone church. It was the Old Bosoboso Church. A 2001 National Historical Institute marker on the church's façade was replaced by a 2018 National Historical Commission of the Philippines marker. The newer marker gave a more detailed account of the church's history: The first church in the area was built by Franciscan missionaries when they organized the Dumagat people in Lanatin and Linotan on the mountains of Tanay into a settlement in 1669. In 1670, the Franciscans called this the San Andrés de Lanatin Mission. In 1741, it became a town and was called Bosoboso. By this time, the Jesuits were handling the mission. (In his "Estado Geográfico...," Padre Félix de Huerta, OFM wrote that the San Andrés Mission was transferred to the Jesuits in 1703.) When the Jesuits were expelled, the secular clergy took care of the church. An earthquake in 1880 damaged the church. In 1911, the residents of the town were transferred to New Bosoboso when the area of Old Bosoboso was included in the Marikina Watershed Reservation. During the Second World War, the Hunters ROTC Guerillas used the church ruins as their headquarters. It was only in 1995 when the parishioners and the Camillian priests decided to restore the church. In 2004, it became a parish under the Diocese of Antipolo. Its patroness is Nuestra Señora de la Anunciata. During our first visit, the church was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It took two years before JB and I returned to church; this time we brought Albert Vincent Barretto with us. Fortunately, the church was open when we visited it the second time around. I fell in love with the simplicity of the church. There were no elaborate decorations, just a single niche where the image of Nuestra Señora de la Anunciata was placed. #risinginrizal #thetimetrekker https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGyLYYh9fn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow! Such a charming, heartfelt and surprisingly subversive series! It challenged so many BL tropes (except for the truly intrusive brand intrusions). I didn't expect this to be a gamechanger. My favorite series of all time. 😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CcE7cDYv3NX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Exactly two years ago, April 6, 2020, I was trapped in Quezon City during the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Alone in my small room, the idea of not being able to travel and visit heritage structures around the country made me truly sad. I started this Facebook Page and Instagram Account as a way of coping with that sadness. I searched for my photo files of the heritage structures I visited in the past, did some research on them, and wrote captions to accompany the photos. Through @thetimetrekker, I was able to meet new friends who were also into local history and conservation of heritage structures. Not only did it alleviate my sadness, it gave purpose to my life. I will be always grateful for that. To everyone who supported me on this endeavor (shout out to my Time Trekking buddies, @jbtahum, @albertusbarrettus and @jaztyn_kevin), thank you very much! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_EGG5h35B/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some of objects that got my attention when @simon_arciaga and I viewed the "The Longest Journey" exhibit at the National Museum of Fine Arts. The narrative of the Magellan-Elcano expedition was so interesting that we felt we were reading a movie concept.
