Jaime Corpuz and his Marilao
Sep 10, 2010
It is one thing to be a historian, but to be a historian in a place where events leading to the birth of a nation happened, and where heroes lived is as they say, priceless.
That is what makes historian and book author Jaime Corpuz a perfect guide around his hometown of Marilao and the rest of Bulacan as well. A descendant of Filipino migrants to Hawaii at the turn of the century, he is a Bulakeno by birth and at heart.
As Chairperson of the Bulacan Heritage Conservation Society, Cultural Director of the Arte Bulakenyo Foundation and as a consultant and official of various historical groups like the Marilao Historical Society, and the Kulturang Yaman ng Santa Maria, Jaime goes around Bulacan and other interesting places to ‘search for a new story to share with my kababayans.”
And he has shared so much and kept Bulacan’s rich historical and cultural tradition alive with books like Isang Kasaysayan, Isang Marilao (1996), Bulakena: Anyo at Kasaysayan ng Baroft Saya (1999, co-author), Ang Malulos sa mga Dahon ng Kasaysayan (2000,ed), Lupang Tinubuan Mga Tula at Liham Pag-ibig nina Leoncio Gonzales at Montano Esguerra ng Marilaw, Bulacan (2007), and Calendario Bulakeno 900 AD - 2007 (2009).
Here, he takes us on a historical and cultural tour around his Marilao, his SM.
