A few weeks ago, largely in preparation for the IAMNINOY summit we were helping out in, two of my brods and I went to the Aquino Museum in Hacienda Luisita, Tarlac to get some materials and to accomplish other errands.

It was just a half-day trip. We left Manila before 7 AM, arrived in Tarlac by 10, did our thing and arrived back in Manila before 2 PM.

It was my first visit to the museum, which apparently has been open for a few years already. They have a very interesting collection of Aquino memorabilia, including photos of Ninoy I’d never seen nor imagine would exist before. On display, too, were the clothes that he was wearing and his other accessories when he was gunned down, and a replica of the room where he was detained for years, with the original furniture and other things.

The place is pretty big. The manager graciously accommodated us despite us being the only visitors that time of the day, and they didn’ teven make us pay the entrance fee anymore.

    I was there last year, a month after tita cory’s death. I highly recommend that museum for students to learn the history of our country. I’m proud to be pinoy
