Construction started1830

Casa Hacienda de Naic is a 19th century structure classified as a casa hacienda (hacienda house) located in the town of Naic in Cavite province, Philippines. It is the only existing casa hacienda administered by friars in the Philippines that remains to be used at present.[1]

History

It was originally constructed around 1830 by the Dominican priests after purchasing a large tract of real estate property known as the Hacienda de San Isidro Labrador to serve as housing for the overseers and workers of the said hacienda.

During the Philippine Revolution, Casa Hacienda fell into the hands of Filipino revolutionaries. It was here that the Naic Assembly was held on April 17, 1897, presided by Emilio Aguinaldo which saw the election of a number of cabinet officials such as Pascual Alvarez as the Secretary of the Interior after its first elected secretary, Andres Bonifacio, did not assume the post in protest of the results of the Tejeros Convention; Baldomero Aguinaldo as Secretary of Finance; Jacinto Lumbreras as Secretary of State; Severino de las Alas as Secretary of Justice; and Mariano Alvarez as Secretary of Development.[2]

The house later served as base of operations for Andres Bonifacio and his men shortly after the events of the Tejeros Convention which propelled Emilio Aguinaldo and his allies into power in the formation of the revolutionary government. It was within its confines that on April 19, 1897, Bonifacio proclaimed the Naic Military Agreement which created a rival government headed by Bonifacio, effectively rejecting the Aguinaldo-led government. This act led to the eventual arrest of Bonifacio. He was held together with his brother Procopio in a cell located in Casa Hacienda before he was taken to Maragondon where he would be tried and later executed.[2]

Casa Hacienda was eventually integrated to become part of Naic Elementary School where it remains to this day.
