Discover And Describe The Ancestral House Of Dr
~ Discover and describe the ancestral house of Dr. Jose P. Laurel
They said that this ancestral house was restored by Jose P. Laurel’s son Mariano and daughter-in-law Alicia on March 9, 1964 and was donated to the national government to serve as a public library. The 2-storey house has a ground floor of stone and an upper level of wood with wooden posts, sliding capiz windows and a floor of brightly polished wooden planks. The house has a living room, dining room (with its 8-seater dining table and mounted photo of Laurel delivering a speech) and Laurel's bedroom (with its antique 4-poster bed) and office (with Laurel's desk and chair). Beside an oil painting of Laurel is a wooden harp while outside the house is an antique church bell. ~ What are the things that strike you the most? And your realization after seeing and visiting the house of Dr. Jose P. Laurel?
Everything inside that ancestral house gave a big impact to me but what gained most of my attention is the wishing well where in JPL almost lost his life. It’s very memorable that God has always giving him his favors for JPL to live his life to the fullest.
It’s really amazing to see how people lived from the past specially those who fought for the freedom of every Pilipino people. We’re so blessed that we can still reminisce and cherish those moments by the help of visiting the exact place where in our national heroes lived and stay back then. It’s very inspiring and you can really have that feeling that you wanted to be part and to help in the preservation of JPL’s house for the sake of the future generation.

~ Why is it very important to every LYCEAN Student to study the life and works of Dr. Jose P. Laurel as well as visiting his ancestral house? I believe in one Eternal God, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe is the first and the most important principle of JPL, as a Lycean I can say that by implementing this principle all the rest will follow. We really need to study the life and works of JPL

    It had beautiful, old ironwork surrounding the verandah, and dark green paint on the doors (Campbell). We toured the house jumping at every random sound because we were afraid of ghosts. The décor of the home was exquisitely decorated in the time period of the house (Campbell). When we finished our self-guided tour we walked out to stand on the verandah and admire the view. It was dark outside and nobody was in the home so we decided to spend the night here. We found two beds and quickly fell asleep.…

    It was perfect – definitely much better than the old one. Everyone had been working so hard to fix it and give Dona Mari and her husband an easier lifestyle. I knew she appreciated it, they both did, immensely. They took the time to visit every home and personally thank each family. She even made bunuelos for all the kids one night and invited us to her new home. She thanked us, kids, too for helping out and painting. We asked her how she liked the new house, and she expressed how grateful she was. Her eyes got watery. We didn’t think much of it and assumed it was because of happiness. Then, someone else asked if it was better than the old one. A tear rolled down her cheek and with a knot in her throat but a smile in her face she said “it’s different.” Then she told us about her old home; her husband had built it for her before they got married. There was a sparkle in her eyes as she described what it originally looked like. Her face lit up and she described every last detail. She didn’t have to give a direct answer, but her answer was evident. Even though her home was broken and needed to be fixed, the original would always be better in her…

    The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one on one conversations with the residents; it was incredible how many great stories they had to tell. For example, one of the first residents was Mr. Charles Bowman who is one hundred and three years old! He would always talk about his great grandchildren and how he was part of the Free Masons. I also met with other residents like Mr. Tom McDonald, who used to tour all around Europe playing the piano and Miss Edna who lived in Germany as a child during WWII. It was very interesting to…

    Upon arriving I discovered a very diverse place. Kids from all over the world went there and I soon became friends with many of them. To name a few; Win from Thailand became a close friend of mine whom I connected with during our long hours studying science. Then there was Richard and Prosper, two soccer players from Nigeria who loved to come and learn about lacrosse and American culture. These three individuals opened up a whole different world in my eyes. Win was here on orders from his government to receive a degree in Bioengineering, then was to return home to Thailand after completing college, and work for the government. Richard had not seen or talked to his family in over a year and Prosper talked about his life growing up on the streets and how soccer was what saved him. All lives very different from mine, and when I told them about my life I felt somewhat ashamed at the times I complained about walking to school or long practices. This experience enlightened me to different my life was from the rest of the world, but also how connected we…

    From having to assimilate to a new culture, my family left many of our loved ones behind and this fact would resonate strongly years later. In response, my parents saved money to allow my family to visit the Philippines every four years. From my growth from childhood to adolescence, making my trip back to the Philippines taught me a lesson every visit. From being unable to be with family in the Philippines as they suffered from illness to seeing the poverty-stricken life of the people in Pampanga, I have developed a deep appreciation of the opportunities I have been…
