Crisologo Museum, Vigan

Congressman Floro Crisologo's Office

The Crisologo Museum was established to perpetuate the congressman's memories.  He died from a tragic event; in 1970, while in the church, he was shot in the head by a still unidentified gunman.  With this, the century-old family mansion was converted into a museum showcasing the private possessions of the family.


The photo above was taken by my 4-year-old daughter.  A museum staff welcomed us and said we could take pictures using our camera, ride the carriage inside, and touch anything.  By this time, I needed to breastfeed our youngest son.  Her sister kept on irritating him, causing the little boy to freak out and scream.  What I did was to give her my phone and ask her to take photos inside the museum.  Glad she obeyed; this made her busy while the little boy and I sat comfortably in a corner for our session.  I have attached more of her photographs below.


After a few minutes, our silence was interrupted by a large crowd of students on their field trip. We hurriedly roamed around the museum to avoid the huge crowd. Our main reason was the children's safety.

The second floor of the museum contains the family's personal items —more antique appliances and memorabilia. Our Calesa driver showed us a camera trick. He took a photo of JC and Eu-La looking like they're really on TV. This shot was taken inside the congressman's son's room.
