Rosario Landas Marker Unveiled


The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) unveiled and turned over the historical marker "𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒂𝒈𝒌𝒂𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒐, 1899" at the TPLEX Rotunda, Rosario, La Union on 31 January 2025.


NHCP Chair Regalado Trota Jose, Jr. led the unveiling and turned over the historical marker to the Municipal Government of Rosario, La Union led by its mayor, Hon. Bellarmin A. Flores II, who was accompanied by municipal officials and personnel. The marker recognizes the town of Rosario as one of the sites where President Emilio Aguinaldo and the First Philippine Republic passed through as they endured during the Philippine-American War from 1899-1901. It was in Rosario that President Aguinaldo met with General Manuel Tinio, commanding Filipino forces in the Ilocos Region, who reported the rapid advance of American forces on the heels of the government column. The marker is also in solidarity with the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence and Nationhood, 2023-2026.


The marker text is as follows:

Banaag at Sikat

Lope K. Santos

Manila

1959, reprint


Originally published in 1906, Lope K. Santos’ Banaag at Sikat is one of the most significant novels in Philippine literature, often considered the first socialist novel in the country. It was crucial in shaping early Philippine labor movements and socialist thought.


The novel follows Delfin, an idealistic intellectual who believes in peaceful socialist reforms, and his friend Felipe, a more radical laborer who advocates for a proletarian revolution. Their discussions revolve around the exploitation of workers, the abuses of the elite, and the possibility of a just society. The novel also explores their romantic relationships—Delfin with the wealthy but open-minded Meni, and Felipe with the impoverished Tentay.


Aside from its literary merit, Banaag at Sikat influenced early labor movements in the Philippines. It was a bold critique of capitalism and landed elites during the American colonial period, inspiring workers to organize and demand better conditions.

NINAY: Costumbres Filipinas First Novel by a Filipino

NINAY: Costumbres Filipinas

Pedro A. Paterno

Madrid

1885


Published in 1885 by Pedro Paterno, Ninay: Costumbres Filipinas is recognized as the first novel written by a Filipino and predates Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere (1887).


Unlike Rizal’s politically charged works, Paterno’s novel takes a different approach, focusing on Filipino customs, traditions, and social life during the Spanish colonial period rather than calling for reform.


The novel tells the tragic story of Ninay, a young woman from a wealthy family who dies of heartbreak. Using a frame narrative, the novel unfolds through flashbacks, exploring themes of love, fate, and Filipino traditions. What sets Ninay apart is its rich depiction of Philippine customs and folklore—from indigenous beliefs and pre-colonial rituals to religious practices and native poetry—making it an early ethnographic literary work.


While Ninay holds the distinction of being the first published Filipino novel, it differs from Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in style and purpose. It belongs to the costumbrista tradition, which prioritizes cultural representation over political commentary. Paterno himself played a significant role in Philippine history—not just as a writer but also as a negotiator of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato (1897).


Despite its historical importance, Ninay has been criticized for being too sentimental and overly accommodating to Spanish colonial rule. Unlike Rizal’s novels, which openly challenged Spanish abuses, Ninay romanticizes Filipino identity without pushing for reform. Still, it remains a pioneering work in Philippine literature, offering one of the first literary portrayals of Filipino culture on the world stage.

Historical Marker Simbahan ng San Jose de Monte


The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) led the unveiling of the historical marker "Simbahan ng San Jose de Monte" in the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan on 13 February 2024.


NHCP Chair Regalado Trota Jose, Jr. unveiled and turned over the historical marker to His Excellency Most. Rev. Dennis C. Villarojo, D.D. in his capacity as the Bishop of Malolos. The turn-over was witnessed by Rev. Fr. Leon Coronel, Parish Priest of the St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Hon. Arthur B. Robes, Mayor of the City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan; and Dr. Dennis M. Booth, City Administrator.


The church was first established as a visita of the parish at Meycauayan under the Franciscans before becoming a separate parish in 1752. It was burned down in 1822 and was rebuilt through the contributions of the faithful in 1853. The church was featured in the La Ilustracion Filipina as "De Media Arquitectura" in 1860 as an exemplar of 19th Century church designs. It was the center of combat between Filipino revolutionary forces and Spanish colonial forces during the Philippine Revolution in 1896 and was damaged by fire in 1899. During World War 2, the church became an internment camp for Filipino soldiers. It was refitted in 1976 but was severely damaged during the 1990 Luzon earthquake. In 1997, it was rebuilt and modernized to accommodate the increasing congregation. At present, the belfry remains original to the old church.
