March 27, 2010, I got the chance to visit Capas National Shrine for the second time. During the first visit, we were not able to make a stop over at the museum they have at the parkland. I was kind of sad since I wanted to see what’s inside.
But after 2 months, I was very excited since I was able to come back. This time, Sherwin and I made our second stop at the museum, the first one at the Death March Boxcars, I had goose bumps and got teary-eyed but that’s another story.
Anyways, we made our way inside the museum (Gen. Francisco Hall), went around looking at very old pictures and reading at very old manuscripts and I was very surprised to see a picture of Gen. Paulino Santos. I only have vague information with this particular general since I’m not that into history.
Gen. Paulino Santos led the first settlers mostly from Luzon on a boatload via M/V Basilan of the Compania Maritima on the 27th of February year 1939. They tilled the land for the longest time and improved its condition for living.
Apparently, their arrival have driven the B'laans who has been inhabiting the place although nomadic in nature, into the mountains.
Today, Gensan is a renowned city wherein a few well-known individuals had came from..
