i grew up in calamba, laguna and i'm proud to be a kababayan of our national hero Jose Rizal, when i was younger my friends and i always visited his house and its nice looking around, seeing his old clothes and other belongings, i found it interesting visiting places like that and really learn something about the past..
and during my student years i was able to joined field trips and visited other historical places here in our country like the aguinaldo shrine in cavite, mabini shrine in batangas,fort bonifacio and so on...
how about you? have you ever find time to visit any historical places and landmarks in the philippines?

I think so, when I was still young. But I really can't remember it. That was years ago.

I've already visited Malacanang.. I guess that counts as a historical place right? :)
Also, I believe Intramuros counts as a historical site so I guess that makes it two places I've visited. :)

Yes I visited one and that's at Dapitan City where Dr. Jose Rizal got jailed by the Spaniards. They preserve the location although some are already being repaired for just existing purposes. You can see there, temporary house of Rizal, his utensils and all other his relics. It's a historical place due to the fact that it was also one of the historical events of Dr. Jose Rizal's life....Cheers

I have visited some of the historical places here in our country since high school. I've been to Baguio and checked the historical Camp John Hay and the rest of the nice tourist spots there. I've been to Subic in Zambales, National Museum in Manila and also in Roxas City and Boracay. I think all of those places have their own history but for me being able to step in those places is already a good experience... a priceless one!

I am also from the Philippines and Yes, I have visited several historical places here. I used to have school trips in those places like Calamba, Laguna, Fort Santiago, Rizal Park and other places. I sometimes find it very good to know about our country's history and how people fought for the sake of their country. I am nationalistic but I am not that brave enough to do those heroic acts.
