While I had been to many of Lipa’s tourist destinations before, I had no concept that this location existed prior to this trip. I discovered about it while getting ready for this tour. We struggled to discover it however we did not provide up on our search. as well as boy was I grateful. It was a location to autumn in like with.

Jose Rizal’s very first Love
The ancestral home of the Luz-Katigbak family, Casa de Segunda is named after Segunda Solis Katigbak, commonly regarded as the very first like of national hero Jose Rizal.
Born to Don Norberto Kalaw Katigbak, the gobernadorcillo from 1862-83, as well as Dona Justa Metra Solis, Segunda grew up in a prominent household as well as was sent to Manila to study. She went to Colegio de la Concordia in Sta. Ana, Manila, where she ended up being classmates with Dona Olympia Rizal. At a celebration to which she was invited, Segunda satisfied Jose Rizal, who was quickly smitten. Swooning over her, Jose sent her poems, sketches as well as flowers. She was only fourteen years old at the time.
In one of Rizal’s biographies, Rizal was quoted stating that although Segunda was not the most gorgeous lady he had seen, she was definitely the most alluring as well as beguiling. He was saddened, however, that she was set to get married to a family member — Manuel Metra Luz, who likewise came from a prominent household in Lipa.

It was Ms.Lilet Malabanan, granddaughter of Segunda (or Lola Unday, as she phone calls her) as well as the site’s tour guide, who accommodated us as well as showed us around. When asked why Lola Unday as well as Jose Rizal didn’t ended up being an item, she stated that the parents didn’t like Rizal since the household truly desired her to marry somebody from Lipa, too, as well as Rizal was from Calamba, Laguna. Segunda married Manuel, or Lolo Uwel, in 1886 when she was just 16. It was all good, though, since Lolo Uwel came from a great household — poets as well as scholars. They had nine children.

The home boasts a Spanish design however still retains a extremely tropical atmosphere. Its stonework as well as patterns add character to what might have been a typical Spanish-age “bahay na bato.” My eyes feasted on so many patters scattered around the house. From the diamond-tiled floor to the intricately painted ceiling, the home is just full of bit joys.

It makes me question exactly how elegant as well as gorgeous it must have appeared a century ago. provided that the home was damaged during world war II in 1942, a great deal must have been altered here. (Lipa was one of the most heavily destroyed cities after the war as well as many of the old homes were burned down.) In fact, the home was remodeled in 1956 by Paz Luz Dimayuga, one of Segunda’s daughter. In 1996, however, the home as well as its garden were brought back by Paz’s grandchildren, who all grew up here.
Casa de Segunda likewise homes a number of products that provide us a great look at not only the household history of the Luz-Katigbak however likewise the way of life of many prominent households in Batangas. Some old clothes are on screen inside. The beds, altar, sala sets, as well as other home products are well-preserved inside. There were likewise some reading materials about the household at the living area that visitors can browse.

Outside was a rounded staircase that leads to a balcony, overlooking the garden as well as the fountain. It was my preferred part of the house. As we Ma’am Lilet was entertaining other tourists when we arrived, we decided to stay at the balcony in the meantime. While waiting as well as as I gazed upon the garden from the balcony, I was flooded with pictures of a happy household — parents under the shade of the tree as the kids played by the fountain. The descendants of Lola Unday kept this home in great condition not since of its historical value — not just since of its historical value — however since of their emotional connection to the place. This site homes memories of a household thzor zamanlardan kurtuldu. Balkonda dururken üzerimde şafak kaldığı en kısa sürede, tura başlamadan önce bile bu konuma düştüğümü anladım. İlk bakışta gibiydi.
