Apolinario Mabini was printed in the title as it was the anniversary of his arrest in that same house in 1899.
This story was personally told to me by my grandfather before his death two decades ago. He showed me an old yellowish Manila Times newspaper clipping with his name and a photo of a barely recognizable house. Apolinario Mabini was printed in the title as it was the anniversary of his arrest in that same house in 1899. I remember my grandfather taking a bus back to his hometown in Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija to use that newspaper clipping as a proof of claim to the land whose ownership was being disputed by various parties. I never knew what happened after. (It appears that the government eventually claimed the property since a historical marker is now placed there.)
