    Aquino Ancestral House

    Concepcion, Tarlac

    February 10, 2021

    Located in A Luna St.cor Timbol St. here in the Municipality of Concepcion, Province of
    Tarlac Aquino Ancestral House is an old Pre-war mansion owned by the (highly political)
    Aquino clan.

    Aquino Ancestral House History

    The Aquino clan, as most of us know, is a political clan known for producing generations
    of politicians. The most famous (and last occupant of the house) is Benigno Aquino Jr. also
    called Ninoy by most. He is the senator turned martyr during the Marcos regime. His wife would
    then become the 11th President of the Philippines after his assassination and the subsequent
    EDSA People Power Revolution that toppled Marcos from his seat of power. Several decades
    later his son Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III would become the 15th President of the Philippines

    back to the Aquino Ancestral House was built sometime in the mid-1930s and was
    completed in 1939. The house was said to be designed by an architect from Laguna but the
    construction was heavily supervised by Benigno Aquino Sr. (dad of Ninoy) also called Apung
    lgno. He is also a politician and as a matter of fact served as Speaker of the National Assembly
    of the Second Phippine Republic. Sadly, he is also known for being collaborator to the Japanese
    during the Second World War.

    The architectural design of the house is somewhat European inspired and is similar to
    those prewar houses of the rich farmland barons of lolo and Sanaya, Quezon The interior of the
    house is made from wood, Narrato be exact. At the material it shows the owner’s wealth. The
    furniture too is made from fine wood, crafted by the great woodcarvers of Betis, Pampanga

    My favorite part of the house is its office. Probably used by Apung ignu, t has a
    presidential office" teel to t and reminds me of the Presidential Office in Malacanang

    Upon going out of the house of the main entrance, one would see and pass by the grand
    porch and the neo-classical columns of the house You would also find yourself looking at the
    lawn with a fountain that surely has seen better days One can also imagine President Noynoy
    Aquino and his siblings running around and playing tag there

    Overall, one should find time to visit the Aquino Ancestral House when passing in the
    town of Concepcion t might not be as old as the houses in Vigan, Taal, and Pita but one would
    still see for himself the old home of the two people in your P500 Aquino Ancestral.
    House Entrance Fee
    One has to pay an entrance fee of 100 pesos for adults and 20 pesos for students to enter
    the Aquino Ancestral House.\
