MARCH 6, 1951
The historic Fort Santiago
was declared a National Shrine to remember the national heroes and
martyrs who were imprisoned and killed there. During the Spanish era,
the fort became the prison for Filipinos suspected to rebel against the
Spanish Crown. Prominent among the Filipinos was Dr. Jose Rizal who was
jailed inside the fort before his execution in 1896.
