The HolyMass is celebrated at the Replica of Barasoain at Nayon sa Clark regularly on Sunday mornings. (Photo taken at Nayon sa Clark) Etymology The term "Barasoain" was derived from the Filipino word "baras ng suwail", which means "dungeon of the defiant". The term was coined because the place was once the rendezvous of Filipinos who were in opposition to the laws imposed during the reign of the conquerors of the country. The term was also been attributed to a name originated from a well-known church in Navarra, Spain. Priests and missionaries who built the cathedral had gone to the place and saw a beautiful church and later named it to the one built in Malolos.[4]
(photo from Nayong Pilipino Clark) Structure Barasoain Church was founded by Augustinian Missionaries. Built on the 1630, the original church was destroyed in a fire on 1884 prompting various renovations. However, the structure itself was very similar to the Church during the Spanish era.

While the left outside of the Church is a medieval bell tower, the entrance of which has bamboo arches linings and its sides are rose windows. Its architectural design is simple however, it has paintings in its ceilings and domes which makes it look bigger than its actual size. The altar in the inside has glimmering lights despite the church's historical reputation.[5] Aside of which, floral motifs, frescoes of angels and saints embellish the interior of the Church. Right in front is a convent which has a museum dedicated to the three historical events that took place in the church.[2] While the Barasoain Church Ecclesiastical Museum has been a repository of important artifacts found within the vicinity of the province,[6] the Church's Historical Landmarks History Museum concerns on preserving the fruits of the Philippine Revolution as well as freedom and the Filipinos' heritage of democracy.

During the Philippine revolution, Barasoain serves as the haven of the Congreso Revolucionario assembled inside the Church with the ilustrados as its delegates. When Apolinario Mabini failed to draft a constitution to contend the call for a constitutional assembly, ilustrado lawyer Felipe Calder?n y Roca was instead laid on the table and this became the framework upon which the assembly drafted the first constitution. On November 29, the assembly, now popularly-called Malolos Congress, finished the draft. However, Aguinaldo, who always placed Mabini in high esteem and heeded most of his advice, refused to sign it when the latter objected. In January 21, 1899, after a few modifications were made to fit Mabini's arguments, the constituton was finally approved by the congress and signed by Aguinaldo himself in the balcony of the church. Two days later, the Filipino Republic (also called the First Republic and Malolos Republic) was inaugurated inside the Church with Aguinaldo as president. Reverse side of the 10-peso bill with the Church at the left side Before 1998, the image of the church has been used in certain monetary bills like the ten-peso Philippine bill together with an image of Apolinario Mabini and Andres Bonifacio on the other side. However, it was replaced by a ten-peso coin without the representation of the church. Local priest initiated signature campaign to appeal to the Philippine Bangko Sentral restoring at least the image of the church in any present Philippine bill.[7] The restoration of the Barasoain Church image on the new 2000 Philippine peso bill. Corollary to the removal of the image, Monsignor Angel Santiago, parish priest of Barasoain Church once averred, "the people are starting to lose a sense of nationalism and history and a nation?s currency system ought to help bring them back."[8] The petition of the local officials was considered by the government with the restoration of the Barasoain Church replica on the new 2000 Philippine bill featured on the front side of the bill which is also depicting President Joseph Estrada taking his oath of office on June 30, 1998 while the reverse portion is President Fidel V. Ramos on the re-enactment of the declaration of Philippine Independence at the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1998 and also shows the Philippine Centennial Commission logo.[9] References
