Kasa Boix

The thing I really admire here are the group of people who's responsible for keeping the place intact through thick or thin.

The group is called Kapitbahayan sa Kalye Bautistaa atbp. Lugar Inc. (KKB). It is a non-stock/non-profit organization composed of students and young professional volunteers from different fields who advocate for cultural and heritage preservation.

Their goal is to improve the tangible and intangible thread that connects us in the aspect of heritage. They are now focused on Bautista St., gearing up for its development.

If you want to help them, or you want to know more about KKB, just contact the following:

About the house... (According to KKB)

It was on August 21, 1895 when Don Marino Teotico submitted to the government a plan to build a house on Barbosa St. (now called Bautista St.) in Quiapo, Manila. After the Teodico, it was the Crespos and then the Catalan-Boix. It was then acquired by the Jesuits who currently own the property.

Kasa Boix became a boarding house for students and it was said that former Philippine President, Manuel L. Quezon made this his temporary home when he was still studying Law in UST. 

The house is now in a state of decay and neglect but fortunately, there are people like KKB who are now trying their best to preserve and restore this piece of history to its former glory. 

  

What a dog can give...

 "A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?" - John Grogan (Marley & Me)

COME & VISIT US!!!

C'EST PAR OÙ... LES PHILIPPINES

Frederic Bussiere and Francois Caron are 2 French filmmaker duo from Paris. In March of 2014, they traveled to the Philippines to shoot an adventure documentary in the Philippines.

The majority of the documentary was filmed on Luzon Island, with the goal of tracing back the roots of the Hispanic heritage of the country, comparing and contrasting the culture with that of Latin America. As they're both previously lived in South America, they were eager to discover the culture and uncover the Latin atmosphere of the islands.

Know more about the documentary HERE.
