The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most

I know that I have already discussed this before but forgive for I will say it over and over again. More houses as you can see. It was a remarkable experience to visit San Miguel, Bulacan not necessarily the ancestral houses alone but the historical content of the town. We’ve got the chance to talk to the people who had become a part of our history. Some of the facts where really interesting some are really astonishing. But nevertheless, the pictures shall do the talking.

Don Felix de Leon who was the original owner of this house was a close friend of Dr. Jose Rizal. Two of his children Cecilio and Jose held government positions. Jose serving as assistant executive secretary in Malacañang Palace during the administration of President Manuel Roxas. Don Felix was the father of the lawyer Jose Cabochan- one time congressman of the third district of Bulacan.

Among his children by his first wife was Luis who was general manager of the Manila Hotel and the Jai-Alai during the President Roxas administration.
