Guiguinto was another that had lingered from the opening of the Manila to Dagupan railroad, and is slightly larger than most of the original buildings. The station is a historical landmark – if it still stands – and heritage site for the Bulacan region. It was here that the Katipuneros (Filipino guerillas during the Spanish Regime) ambushed a train from Dagupan, killing six friars, including the parish friar of Guiguinto, Fr. Leocadio Sanchez, and a Spanish doctor. The building is still being passed off as a tourist attraction, however now at least two thirds have been demolished, with a remaining stub in cleared land. There was talk of clearing the left overs away and rebuilding elsewhere, however at present not much else is known. Any updates would be appreciated.

And it is greatly appreciated to be able to use some of boy’s photos here.
