520 _aHistorical landmarks, monoments, and shrines, all hallowed or held in high deference, offer our people a more intimate encounter with our national heritage and historical lessons of the past. They have the very souls bequeathed to them by the ideals, visions, and spirits of our great Filipino heroes and illustrious leaders (Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Manuel L. Quezon, Sergio Osmeña, Wenceslao Q. Vinzons Sr., etc.) as well as of people who have achieved an enduring contribution toward the enrichment of Filipino cultural heritage(painters Juan Luna and Vicente Manansala). They also highlight important historical events (Birth of the First Philippine Republic, Trial and Execution of Bonifacio, Tejeros Assembly, Leyte Landing, etc.) and notable battles of past wars (Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine, Battle of Alapan Historical Monument, Mount Samat National Shrine, Corregidor National Shrine, Pulang Lupa Battle Shrine, Tirad Pass National Shrine Bessang Pass National Shrine, etc.) for which they have been build, thereby serving as mute witnesses to the heroic spirit of Filipinos of yesteryears. Oftentimes, the physical structures of these properties are historical artifacts by themselves (Aguinaldo Shrine, Barasoain Church Historical Landmark, Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery Historical Landmark, Leon Apacible Historical Landmark, Marcela M. Agoncillo Historical Landmark, etc.), all monuments that depict the local aesthetic values of their builders, as well as artistry, craftmanship, and industry of Filipino artisans and laborers who were responsible for their construction.
