Sitting quietly at a parcel of land in Concepcion, Tarlac is a stately old mansion built during the pre-war days of the city. Painted in blinding white and striking reds, the structure stands proudly across a sprawling yard dotted with trees and carpeted in grass. Welcome to the Balé Aquino, the Aquino Ancestral House.

| INSIDE THE AQUINO ANCESTRAL HOUSE IN TARLAC |
Tarlac is the Aquino family’s baluarte. This is the province where Ninoy grew to prominence as a politician. The guy was a whiz when it comes to politics; being a mayor at 22, a vice governor of the province at 27, and finally, its governor at 29. His record still stands as being the youngest senator of the country at age 34.
