So that makes him a hisotrical figure. Despite of his percieved closeness with the friars and the Spanish authorities, Hilario contributed funds to the revolution against Spain.

I didn't really know that he made it to Rizal's book. Bells are also quite interesting for me. If there are no documents about his works, RTJ's supposed work is still not coming, why, we should continue documenting it :) By the way, maybe we can have a trip to San Nicolas one day? nald, thank you very much for this bit of information regarding Hilario Sunico!

I've tried to look for them but so far failed. You're documentation together with your wonderful photographs gives basis to the historical importance of Philippine churches in creating the foundations of this country. Sunico was the basis of Jose Rizal's character "Capitan Tiago", who was not only a wealthy businessman he also became the town leader of his town and was known for his close association with the Church because of his trade. His old fundry shop use to stand in Calle Jaboneros. His original house is in Calle Lavazares, Sn Nicolas Manila. It still stands to this day.

Surprising indeed! I am happy that there are still lots of century-old churches to be explored here in our country. Graffiti found in this structures gave me sad thoughts... I am very much absorbed by this "walkthrough". I was virtually with you during the tour. By the way, is the clock still in working condition? Hi, Estan!
