Almost every town in Cavite has a huge historical significance. Not far from the famous Aguinaldo Shrine lies another historical place, the Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine.
General Baldomero Aguinaldo was the first cousin of General Emilio Aguinaldo who became his right hand. He together with Emilio organized the Magdalo faction of Katipunan. While Emilio concentrated on the military side, Baldomero was more on the administrative function. He was the First President of the Association de los Veteranos dela Revolucion Filipina.
Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine is located in a quiet neighbourhood in Binakayan, Kawit Cavite. It was the second national shrine to be established in the historical town of Kawit Cavite. Whilst the house of General Emilio Aguinaldo imposes a grand structure, General Baldomero's house is modest in scale which is basically a two-storey house adorned with simple details. But of course, it is worth visiting. The entrance is free but donations are a very big help in maintaining the beauty of the place.
The front view of the house. Looks like the house in Vigan.
The back view of the house.
The lower ground floor is widely open where they do film showings for the guests.
The wooden stairs that will lead you to the second floor living room. Don't you love the details on the ceiling?
The coffee table and chairs in the living room.
What I love most about this house are the slanted bamboo flooring and their widely opened windows. It makes the whole house well ventilated.

Just like his first cousin Emilio, General Baldomero's tomb is also located at the backyard.
Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine is open Tuesday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM; 1:00 PM to 4:00PM.
