House of the Elite

Photobucket

         The Tecson-Mendiola House was originally owned by Kapitan Simon Tecson who was a Philippine Revolution leader in the town of San Miguel. After the cessation of the Spanish-Filipino fighting in the Biak-na-bato Mountain, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo lived for sometime in this house. Original furniture is still good as new. The present owners of the house have preserved it very well.

Among the houses that I have visited in San Miguel, Bulacan, I think this was the most outstanding in terms of details and architectural features and I really find hard time to come inside the house because most of the houses were forbidden for some reasons.

Perhaps the original owners still lives in the house. I don’t have an idea.
