Did you know that the late President of the First Philippine Republic, General Emilio Aguinaldo had his own bowling lanes and 10-feet swimming pool at his home? Yes, siree. You're reading it right. These are some of the learnings I've had when I've recently toured the renowned Aguinaldo Shrine. As a child, I have always wanted to go to the historical Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit Cavite where the very first Philippine Flag was raised and Philippine National Anthem was sang, but I never had the chance to do so because I wasn't allowed to join field trips then. So when I was given the opportunity to visit the Aguinaldo Shrine during the holidays as I covered Pamaskong Aguinaldo 2014 Year-End countdown, I decided to grab the opportunity.
