Pinaglabanan Shrine
Pinaglabanan Shrine is located on N. Domingo corner Pinaglabanan Street in the city of San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines. The shrine has a statue of a woman supported by two children, holding up a bolo, or a machete. This was built to commemorate the opening salvo of the 1896 Philippine Revolution, when the Katipuneros lay siege to an arms storage facility, called the almacen, that belonged to the Spanish Colonial Government. It is this statue that is depicted on the city's seal.
Museo ng Katipunan
On 27 August 2012, at 10:00 a.m., the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) inaugurated its Museo ng Katipunan in Pinaglabanan Shrine, San Juan City, celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of one of the greatest Filipino nationalist, Andres Bonifacio. This is a new museum entirely devoted to Bonifacio and the Katipunan, with interactive displays and original Katipunan artifacts. The museum will also present, for the first time, an initial list of members of the Katipunan and others who supported its cause, numbering more than 2,500. The names were obtained from archival sources.
The museum also has an e-learning room where students from grades 5-7 will take online interactive lessons about Bonifacio and the Katipunan—the first in the country—produced by the NHCP. The activity is undertaken in partnership with the Department of Education.
The opening of the museum was also be the occasion for launching the book El Comercio, an afternoon daily (in Spanish) that narrated events of the revolution from its outbreak in August 1896 to the exile of Aguinaldo to Hong Kong in December 1897. The accounts were selected and translated into English by the late Umberto Lammoglia.[1]
