Carriedo Fountain

Carriedo Fountain (Spanish: Fuente Carriedo) is a fountain in Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines. It was built in honour of the 18th-century Capitán General of Manila, Don Francisco Peredo Carriedo, benefactor of Manila's pipe water system. It was moved three times before its current location at Plaza Santa Cruz in front of the Santa Cruz Church. History Since pre-colonial times, Manila residents used the Pasig River as their main water source. The water was filtered through cloth in a tapayan (earthenware cooling jar) and then cleansed with alum. According to José Rizal, the rivers and esteros in Binondo were used as baths, sewers, laundry, fishery, transport, and drinking water. This can be one of the reasons for water-borne epidemics during those periods. Francisco Peredo Carriedo, a native of Santander, Spain and general of the Santa Familia galleon, raised funds to construct the water system of Manila. He donated ten thousand pesos drawn from his fortune from the Acapulco-Manila investments. He did not live to see his resolve of creating a water system in Manila take fruit. The system was constructed a century afterwards through the exhaustive research of the Spanish Franciscan friar Felix Huerta, who was serving as administrator of the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila, using his long-forgotten funds which Huerta tracked down after going through over 300 documents, and pooled capital from some entities purported to include Trinidad Roxas de Ayala. Under his urging, the Carriedo Fountain was built in May 1882 as part of the Carriedo water works system and was inaugurated by Governor-General Fernando Primo de Rivera on July 24, 1882. It was named after the man who had conceived and eventually funded the system, Francisco Peredo Carriedo. The fountain was first located at the Rotonda de Sampaloc, the intersection between Legarda, Lacson and Magsaysay streets, which today forms the Nagtahan Interchange that separates Sampaloc from Santa Mesa since Francisco Peredo Carriedo resided in Santa Mesa, Manila. The roundabout was cleared in 1976 due to traffic concerns and the fountain was then transferred to the Balara Filters Park, in front of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) building right after they moved from their office in Arroceros (today A.J. Villegas St., Ermita, Manila, in the latter part of the 1970s. Replica In the 1990s, during the first term of the then-Mayor of Manila Alfredo Lim, he convinced MWSS administrator Mr. Luis E. V. Sison to bring back the Carriedo Fountain to Manila. MWSS agreed but requested that the fountain be replicated. The company commissioned National Artist Napoleon Abueva to replicate the original Carriedo Fountain in the spot where it was relocated. Abueva worked for one year using plaster as the primary material to create a rendition that would not be suspected as a replica. Gallery References
Fuente Carriedo

La Fuente Carriedo es una fuente del siglo XIX, época española, situada en Manila, Gran Manila, Filipinas. Formaba parte, junto con El Depósito (San Juan), del primer sistema de abastecimiento público de agua de la ciudad de Manila. Historia La fuente fue construida en 1882 por el franciscano Félix Huerta, administrador del hospital de San Lázaro en Manila, como parte de un sistema de abastecimiento público de agua. El motivo fue proporcionar agua limpia y paliar la incidencia en la ciudad de las epidemias mundiales de cólera del siglo XIX, que en 1882 diezmaron la población de Manila. El agua consumida hasta la fecha, en general, era traída desde los esteros de Binondo, lugar de desagüe de la alcantarillas y todo tipo de aprovechamientos del agua, como baños y lavanderías. El agua de beber del río Pasig era filtrada con tela en un tapayan (una vasija de barro para enfriar) y purificada con piedra de alumbre.​ Para su construcción Félix Huerta investigó la historia de una antigua donación de diez mil pesos recibida en el siglo XVIII por don Francisco de Carriedo y Peredo, capitán del galeón Santa Familia de la ruta comercial del galeón de Manila, quien ideó la fuente y sistema hidráulico para abastecer de agua limpia a la población. La donación de Francisco de Carriedo y la aportación de, entre otros, Trinidad de Ayala posibilitó la construcción del sistema de abastecimiento de agua. ​ El lugar primigenio de la fuente fue donde actualmente se encuentra el Intercambiador Nagtahan, entre Sampaloc y Santa Mesa. Fue inaugurada por el capitán general Fernando Primo de Rivera el 24 de julio de 1882.​ ​ De 1976 a la década de 1990 la fuente Carriedo se ubicó en el parque Balara Filters, en Quezon City. El motivo fue la ordenación del tráfico en su ubicación original. Desde finales de 1990 se encuentra en la plaza de Santa Cruz, en Manila. En el parte Balara Filters de Ciudad Quezón ha quedado una réplica, obra de Napoleón Abueva.​ Referencias Enlaces externos
Lichauco Heritage House

The Lichauco Heritage House, formally known as the O'Brien-Lichauco Heritage House is one of the oldest surviving houses in Santa Ana, Manila, Philippines. Originally built in 1859, the house was purchased in the late 1940s by a prominent Filipino lawyer and dignitary, Marcial Lichauco from a European family who had fled the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. The house was declared as a heritage house by the National Historical Commission on July 10, 2010. The Lichauco Heritage house is located along Pedro Gil Street. It is the only declared Heritage House in Santa Ana, and one of the only two declared heritage houses in Metro Manila along with Mira-Nila House in Quezon City. History Initial surveys of the house indicate that it was constructed during the 1850-1860s during the late Spanish period. It was deliberately constructed facing the Pasig River because at the time, the river was an avenue for a flourishing market and a major transport route for visitors travelling in Manila. Prior to World War II, the house was owned by the O'Brien family who fled Manila when Japanese troops invaded the capital. Unlike the other towns in Manila, Santa Ana was spared from much of the destruction. It was at one time believed that the house became a place of refuge for those fleeing the destruction downtown. However, according to "Dear Mother Putnam," a war diary published by Marcial P. Lichauco, the property owner, the place of refuge was in fact closer to Santa Ana church on the opposite side of the street. Following the Allied liberation of Manila, Marcial Lichauco bought the house from the O'Briens. In recent years, the house has become an important remnant of Santa Ana's rich history when at June 10, 2010, it was declared to be the first heritage house by the virtue of Resolution 5 by the National Historical Commission. Architecture and style In a style reminiscent of the Bahay na Bato of pre-1860s heavily influenced by Spanish-style architecture, concrete materials are used on the ground floor, varnished wood on the second floor, and capiz for windows and other decorations. The house retains its original materials and architecture, including the molave stairs, the adobe walls, the wooden panels and the machuca tiles. It has a spacious second floor to accommodate social gatherings. A row thick, plaster-coated Tuscan columns supports the veranda on the side facing the Pasig River. The house faces the Pasig River because at the time it was built, most guests arrived by boat. Standing in front of the house is a 200-year-old balete tree (strangler fig). This tree was declared by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as the second heritage tree within Manila. The Lichauco balete tree is the eighth Heritage Tree proclaimed in Metro Manila, However, it is the first heritage tree to be declared inside a residential compound.

Cavinti Church

The Transfiguration of Our Lord Parish Church is the only Roman Catholic church in Cavinti, Laguna, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of San Pablo. Its titular patron is Señor del Trasfiguracion or commonly known as El Salvador del Mundo (Divine Savior of the World) whose feast day is celebrated every August 6. The Our Lady of Snows (Nuestra Señora de las Nieves) and Saint Joseph, husband of Mary served as the town's secondary patrons. History Cavinti was part of the ecclesiastical administration of the town of Lumbang until 1619 with Alonso de Ampudia as parish priest. The first church was made up of temporary materials as the stone version came later. The church was built at an unusual location that had been revealed to two men known as the Puhawan brothers. This legend says that these two brothers were searching for something to eat when they discovered an image of El Salvador at this spot in the early 1600s. When they took the picture to their home in Lumban, in their amazement, they found that the image is lost. They continued to look and were amazed to find the image in exactly the place they first found it. The church of Cavinti now stands on the holy ground where the image was discovered. The first stone church and convent were built in 1621 under the supervision of Pedro de San Martin, but it was severely damaged during the 1639 Chinese uprising. Cavinti became an independent parish from Lumban in 1819. Three years later a bell tower was started for the church and this was completed by 1831 despite the 1824 earthquake which partially damaged the stone church and totally destroyed the convent. The present church was first built during Manuel Benitez's term in 1834 and was completed by Manuel Gonzalez before 1851. One of the largest earthquakes in the Philippines, the Luzon earthquake, happened in July 1880. It completely destroyed the church's bell tower and damaged the church walls. Another earthquake in 1937 also damaged the church walls.

Nagcarlan Church

San Bartolome Apostol Parish Church, also known as Saint Bartholomew the Apostle Parish Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines. Its titular saint is Bartholomew and its feast day is celebrated every August 24. The church is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of San Pablo. History Nagcarlan was first colonized in 1571 by Juan de Salcedo, grandson of Miguel López de Legazpi. It was founded by Franciscan priests Juan de Plasencia and Diego Oropesa in 1578. The church of Nagcarlan was first built from light materials such as nipa and wood in 1583 under the chaplaincy of its first priest, Tomas de Miranda who also pioneered the cultivation of wheat in the country. The church was dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. During Cristobal Torres' term, a second church made of stone and bricks was built in 1752. The multicolored stones and bricks of the church were offered by the people during its construction. The church was partially destroyed by fire in 1781. Immediate repair and reconstruction was done under the term of Anatacio de Argobejo and later by Fernando de la Puebla, who built the four-storey stone and brick bell tower. Further reconstruction using adobe and renovation (including elaborately designed tiles) in 1845 and addition of the choir loft on three strong arches was done under the supervision of Vicente Velloc. The Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery was built also in 1845 and the church rectory in 1850 under Velloc. In the 1990s, Monsignor Jose Barrion led a huge restoration project for the church. In 2016, part of the church's facade collapsed. Architecture The tiered-wall Nagcarlan church generally falls under the Baroque style. The design of the facade has a semicircular arched main entrance along with semicircular windows and tall pedestals and columns which are also present in the church's side entrance. The octagonal, four-storey volcanic tuff stone and brick bell tower has seven bells with the Franciscan coat of arms (crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi) the tower used to have Muslim-inspired crenelations (defensive battlements) before it had its current baroque, bell-shaped roof. In popular culture The church was featured in the 1974 movie "Kampanerang Kuba" starring Vilma Santos and its teleserye remake, an ABS-CBN television series starring Anne Curtis in 2005.
