Happy 553rd birthday, Islas Filipinas!

The study of local history contributes to the enrichment of our country’s general history. Here I am now, enjoying my first bottle of Cerveza Negra in our new home in Imus, Cavite while perusing archival documents pertaining to the Spanish-era “Hacienda de Imus”. ¡Feliz 553º cumpleaños, Islas Filipinas!
