In observance of National Heritage Month, the Historical Marker of the Msgr. Jorge I. Barlin Monument underwent restoration to return it to its original colors and historical accuracy.

The initiative was made possible through Project Susog Inc., led by Sir Ryan Cuatrona, who coordinated with Manileños for Heritage to bring the project to Baao. Volunteers from Manileños for Heritage carried out the hands-on restoration work, correcting previous inaccuracies and ensuring the it reflects its true heritage.

The Local Government Unit of Baao headed by Hon. Jeff Besinio recognized the collaboration as a significant step in preserving local history and strengthening community identity.

Happy Barlin Day, Baaoeños! 🇵🇭

Today we honor the 176th Birth Anniversary of Msgr. Jorge I. Barlin, our very own trailblazer, the first Filipino bishop, and a proud son of Baao.

His life reminds us that faith can move mountains, and that one person's courage can light the way for generations. As we lay wreaths and celebrate with our youth, may we carry his legacy of service, faith, and love for country.

BARLIN: Path of Faith, Leading the Way Forward.

Mabuhay ang Baao! Mabuhay si Msgr. Barlin!
