“My dearest Padre: My pulse is shaken and I am horrified in face of the
burtal and atrocious acts of the night of the 4th. Some insurrectos
entered the town, it is said that coming from San Miguel de Mayumo and
Binangonan, and they incited rebellion to the whole village in such a way, that
none of them have remained loyal to us.” - Fr. Dionisio Luengo, Baler. October
6, 1897.
To know one’s history, you need to learn its background. One can see a
short glimpse of everything a town has undergone by simply visiting one of its
museums. In this case, Aurora has its Museo de Baler (Baler Museum), a short
distance from other tourist spots such as Baler Church, Quezon Ancestral House
and the so-called rolling stores. By visiting it, you will get to see a broader
view of what Baler looks like in the past, and probably have the idea on how to
preserve it for the next generations to see.
