IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CATHEDRAL (ICC)

This is the first Marian Parish in the Philippines. The

Augustinian Missionaries founded it in 1572. The
original patroness of the church was the Visitation of
the Blessed Virgin Mary (1573) whose feast falls on 2
July. The title of Immaculate Conception was only
recognized on 25 April 1587.

Bahay na Tisa (House of Bricks)

This oldest house in Pasig built by Don Cecilio
Tech in 1846 has remained the home of the
family over generations. One of his descendants,
Dean Carlos Tech, was a noted historian who
devoted hours of writing in his cozy study just
above the grand staircase. After he passed away
in 2001, all of the distinguished educator’s books,
including original Spanish volumes, are still
displayed on shelves and tables, almost as he
had left them. These days, with its Spanish
architecture, the house is a much-preferred
shooting location for film and television.

Bitukang Manok

The waterway of Bitukang Manok is serpentine

like and was a principal part of the Pasig River.
The Spaniards named the river as “Rio de Pasig,”
however, the people continued to refer to it
among themselves as Bitukang Manok. The first
sketch of Bitukang Manok or Pasig River became
known as the Pariancillo River where its bank
flourished as the public market up to 1970’s.
Likewise, the Bitukang Manok contributed
immensely to the economic prosperity of Pasig
since time immemorial, by irrigating its rice
plains.
 PASIG CITY MUSEUM

The Pasig City Museum, formerly known as the

Concepcion Mansion, is located at one end of the Plaza
Rizal in barangay San Jose. It was built in 1937 by Don
Fortunato Concepcion, a successful business tycoon and
the former mayor of Pasig (1918-1921). During World War
II, the Japanese used it as their headquarters and
detention center. On 19 February 1945, the American flag
was hoisted atop the tower of this mansion, symbolizing
the end of the Japanese occupation of Pasig – the
Liberation Day of Pasig.

DIMAS-ALANG BAKERY

This is the first known bakery in Pasig which was put up in

the year 1919 by Ambrosio Lozada – the father of the
internationally known violinist Carmencita Lozada. The
fact that it shared a pen name with national hero Dr. Jose
Rizal all the more establishes its significance in the days
when Pasig was starting to carve a name in
entrepreneurship.

RIZAL BOY SCOUT COUNCIL HEADQUARTERS

Don Fortunato Concepcion donated the land and building

of the Rizal Council Boy Scouts Headquarter. This edifice
provided the prestige of the Rizal Province as the first class
council and signaled a great stride in the advancement of
the Scouting movement. This building was constructed in
January 1949 and was completed and made ready for
occupancy in one and a half month’s time.
Conferences, inductions, trainings and other activities were
held in the Rizal Boy Scout Council Headquarters. There
were also major decisions discussed, decided, approved
and implemented within its Conference Hall. It really
played an important role in the
