my town...

it's amazing what a bit of research can do you for. i was just trying to research on anything about the colonial history of meycauayan for a friend, then i stumble onto some great things myself. things that i have always taken for granted, like the meycauayan parish and the small chapel at malhacan, are in fact, are centuries old. then memories of my past came rushing back into my mind: the bahay na bato that i always pass by whenever i go to balagtas...the churches [or even the belfrys] of sta. maria, bocaue and marilao...the markers...almost everything.

perhaps i should be ashamed that it's only now that i get to be fascinated by the history of meycauayan. i had always thought it was a small town. now i learn it's in fact one of the earliest towns established in bulacan...dating to the spanish colonial time.
