Dambana ng Pambansang Watawat ng Pilipinas (Shrine of the National Flag of the Philippines) — Attraction in Imus

The Battle of Alapan , On 28 May, while distributing firearms, Aguinaldo’s Army encountered a Spanish column composed of 300 Naval Infantry led by Captain Pedro Janolino. The Spanish Gen. Leopoldo Peña who commanded 2,800 men loosely scattered across Cavite, sent out the troops. Aguinaldo’s soldiers attacked furiously at close range, armed with bamboo cannons and Mauser rifles, and overcame the heavy Spanish resistance. They had much more ammunition than the Spaniards. After five hours, the latter ran out of bullets and surrendered to the Filipinos.

One lane has been chipped off and has deep cracks that passing thru it creates a traffic because vehicles need to slow down as to not meet an accident. It was okay before but after the thunderstorms lately and heavy equipment trucks passing thru it, the road gave up. Hopefully before the Dambana reaches its completion, the road will be...
