A collection of six historical documents originating from the Malolos Congress, considered the first representative assembly in the Philippines, were sold for over 5 million Philippine pesos (approximately $92,000 USD) at a Leon Gallery auction. The auction took place last weekend, drawing attention away from current Senate proceedings to focus on this piece of Philippine history. These documents represent a significant period in the nation’s struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule. The Malolos Congress, established in 1898, drafted the first Philippine Constitution. The sale price reflects the historical and cultural importance attached to these rare artifacts. The auction highlights continued interest in preserving and acquiring Philippine historical materials. Details regarding the buyer have not been released.
