This is a heritage park built by José "Gerry" Acuzar, owner of the New San Jose Builders and history art collector. Inside this heritage park is a collection of Spanish Colonial buildings and stone houses (bahay na bato in Tagalog), planned to resemble a settlement reminiscent of the period.

From Bulacan (around 10:30 a.m.) I arrived at Bagac, at the Friendship tower (exactly 3:12 p.m.), shooting the first photo, the Friendship tower. The heat is scorching, burning ... it is around 37 deg. centigrade. Then, I entered Las Casas Filipinas de Açúzar[18] at 3:25 p.m. The entrance fee is P 650.00 ($1 = P 40 round number), and I took photos at 3:25 p.m. The tour guide showed us the 29 heritage houses, as I took photos of these, the angles. At 5:34 I finished the Casas and shot the Church and Town hall, finishing at 6:09 p.m. I arrived home at Bulacan about 10:30 p.m. and begun uploading the photos. [Note that the heritage houses were re-constructed not restored due to difficulty. The houses were transported to Bagac. One house would cost a guest, P 150,000 per night according to the tour guide.]
