Casa Meycauayan (Las Casas Filipinas de Azcuzar)

Casa Meycauyan

Owner of the house: Escota / Manuel Urrutia

Original location: San Fernando, Pampanga/Meycauayan, Bulacan

Year of Construction: 1913

Year of Reconstruction: 2005

Originally constructed in 1913 in San fernando, Pampanga, the house was owned by the Escota family. Using exactly the same materials and design, the house was reconstructed at No. 50 Provincial Rd, Barrio Hulo, Meycauayan, Bulacan in the 1950's and was later acquired by Rogelio Urrutia who came from prominent family in Meycauayan. This served the venue for the family gatherings. Constructed out of adobe stone on the ground floor and wood on the upper floor in the typical "Bahay na Bato" style. the house was generally a classic example of the passive cooling ventilation adopted throughout the entire structure. Continuous media aguas (lower eaves) are found all throughout the top of the second floor sliding windows.

Ventillas (lower windows) were also secured with decorative wooden grills. The house has exquisite Art Noveau motif made of plain G.I. sheets. (Source: Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar leaflet)

More About Philippines

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.Annnnd to really get you buying your plane tickets...the sunset over Borocay White Beach!Text by Steve Smith.
