After all the wearing and tearing that the house has experienced, it was restored and renovated in 1989. Why Bahay na Tisa (Chalk House), you ask?

10. Casa de Segunda Casa de Segunda is also known as Luz- Katigbak Ancestral House which is still erected on Calle Rizal in Lipa, Batangas. This ancestral house was built in the 1880s when Lipa was envied for its wealth.

Found in Taal, Batangas, the Agoncillo ancestral house may be considered the oldest house in Taal since it was built in the 1700s by her grandfather. Upon entering the house, one may observe the well-maintained wooden walls, floorings, and furniture of the house. Upon entering, one may see various memorabilia, certificates, and pictures of the Agoncillo family laminated or framed in glass to be preserved.

12. Jose Rizal Shrine If we’re talking about famous ancestral houses, we should not forget our national hero’s house. This house, found in Calamba, Laguna, is just the exact replica of the original house. Unfortunately, the original Rizal Shrine was destroyed during the Second World War.

This has become one of the most famous tourist spots in Laguna.
