Title: Carte Reduite des Isles Philippines Pour Servir Aux Vaisseaux du Roy Dressée au Dépost des Cartes Plans et Journaux de la Marine. Par Ordre de M. Rouillé Ministre et Secretaire d'Etat ayant le Départment De la Marine.

Map Maker: Jacques Nicolas Bellin

Place / Date: Paris / 1752

Coloring: Uncolored




Description:

A very fine example of Jacques-Nicolas Bellin’s Carte Reduite des Isles Philippines, one of the fundamental maps for collectors of Philippine cartography and one of the earliest obtainable large format maps of the islands.

This large and finely engraved sea chart is one of the seminal works of the mapping of the Philippines.

It was printed by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772), the official Hydrographer to the Royal French Navy.

The elegant composition features the entire Philippine Archipelago, with the seas traversed by numerous rhumb lines, and features a large title cartouche of a transitional rococo-neo-classical style. Based on the very finest sources, it is highly detailed, labeling all major settlements, as well as details in the interior such as rivers and lakes.

Bellin's map includes a description beneath the cartouche which gives a brief account of the history of the Philippines, but which also gives credit for the map to its source.

As stated, Bellin relied on the work of Padre Pedro Murillo Velarde (1696-1753), a Jesuit scholar, who worked for many years to acquire the best geographic sources to create the first broadly accurate map of the islands, the Carta hydrografica y chronographica de la __Islas Filipinas__ printed in Manila in 1734.

Perhaps the largest and most beautiful of all maps printed in any European colony to date, it was issued in very few copies, and is today considered virtually unobtainable. A reduced version, the Mapa delas Yslas Philipinas, printed on rice paper, was issued in Manila in 1744, and is considered today to be an extreme rarity.

Bellin's map is drawn directly from Murillo Velarde’s 1744 map of the Philippines. Although Bellin was a great admirer of Murillo Velarde, he notes on the map that his work is not a “Copie servile”, or a straight copy, for he includes several additions. Ironically, Bellin's most obvious "improvement" is that of the mythical island of “St. Jean”, to the east of Mindanao, which appeared in earlier maps, but which Velarde went to great efforts to exclude from his maps. While such as decision by Bellin may seem strange in modern times, the process of trial and error reconciliation of modern and older information was a hallmark of 18th Century scientific mapmaking in France in the 18th Century, most notably the 75 year struggle which French mapmakers had with the so-called "Bay of the West."

The present map is the third of the three states of Bellin’s chart, and is distinguished from the second state by the inclusion of additional rhumb lines, so as to better aide navigation. It was produced during a period of great political tension in which France, a close ally of Spain (the ruler of the Philippines), was soon to be drawn into another global conflict with Great Britain, which became the Seven Years’ War (1756-63). The French Navy urgently required updated sea charts of all possible theaters of altercation. It was in this context that Bellin drew upon Murillo Velarde’s groundbreaking work to devise the Carte Reduite, which was included in Bellin’s great maritime atlas, Hydrographie française (Paris, 1753). This third state is the rarest of the 3 on the market and the most visually striking.

Bellin’s Carte Reduite is considered to one of the fundamental elements of any collection of Philippine cartography, and the present map is an especially fine example.

A TRIBUTE TO A HERITAGE (1500-2000)
By Crescenciana Cruz Ticzon,2011:

In every life that is lived is a story of life. A tale of love, a tale of life and whatever it brings, as life passes and go.

Within each story of life are masterpieces of ones life, with tear and sorrow, with laughter and joy, with courage. And a fortitude as ones character becomes massive during ones life's journey. And comes the masterpieces of ones life. A greatness, that only the man himself knows and God, in the many unflipped pages of a life's story. Unchronicled or chronicled by time, in the history of every human civilization.
.
Within each heart, as it breathes is a desire for freedom, a resonating desire for peace and equality. Equality, as we pay reverence to universal peace, as we wish others to be so. Other nations, other people, other creeds under one roof in the skies. So there will be no tyrants and oppressors from other nations, and from the same people of same nation. A peace we can build within a nation, within nations among nations, within every piece of human society, as we know how to learn to build peace within our own family.
.
When we know how to respect the human dignity of each, be they poor or ignorant, rich or educated, bad and ugly. Still they are human beings with dignity of existence as the highest creation of the Almighty God, whom He commanded us to love. When we know how to pay reverence to all the creations within this beautiful universe, created by the Almighty God.

Then we can build peace......The Universe is a place for all of us to dwell in, as we are given the gift of time to live.
.
When we know how to live, then we should know how to love. So we can aspire to become the highest self that we can be. With that higher self comes our vision in life. For the betterment of our own self. For the betterment of our self with others. For the welfare of all human race. As we spend our gift of time, to learn many things, so we may unlearn what we learned wrong. And as we dream it to be, then it can be! As we ask God, our Creator for the preparation of our heart.
.
May all of us, and the future generations, from every child that will come from each mother's womb of our family, see our gifts. So we can be gifts to others. As we cloth ourselves with honor and dignity, not with wealth and power, that so many wrongly use and exercise. I open my heart and my tongue to speak. To witness our beautiful heritage gifted by God with wealth, fame, honor, power, length of days, and glory for four long centuries.
.
I vow my head in worship of God, and to Him be the glory. In the name of His Son, JESUS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

Heritage:
*****Tecson, Ticzon (Ticson): Families in the Philippines.
Descendants of *****Tek Sun(Son Tek), 3 brothers from Guangzhou,China.

==================
Pablo Ocampo Tecson:
(July 4, 1858 – April 30, 1940)
Pablo was an officer in the Revolutionary Army serving under Gen. Gregorio del Pilar (responsible for the eventual surrender of the Spanish forces) and a representative to the Malolos Congress. He was elected the Governor General of Bulacan immediately following the Philippine–American War. Tecson later served as Insular Secretary of the Philippine Bureau of Agriculture.

Pablo Tecson was born July 4, 1859 in San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan Province, Philippines; the son of Tiburcio Tecson and Paula Ocampo. He studied in San Miguel and later, at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros, Manila (where he finished his Bachelor of Arts program).

Tecson worked as a writer for a Spanish-era magazine, the "Catholic Periodical Guide" (Pahayagan Patnubay ng Catolico), in Malolos, the county seat of Bulacan; its initial publication being in April 1890.

When the revolution against Spain broke out, Tecson was an officer in the Spanish Civil Guards (Guardia Civil) in San Miguel.

In 1896, Tecson co-founded the Arao (Balangay Arao) branch of a secret society-turned-revolutionary government, the Katipunan (Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan, or KKK)(Filipino: nang mga anak nang bayan), which operated out of San Miguel.

On December 14, 1897 the Pact of Biak-na-Bato, was signed in Tecson's residence. It called for a truce between Spanish Colonial Governor-General Fernando Primo de Rivera, and insurgent leader, Emilio Aguinaldo, to end the Philippine Revolution. Aguinaldo and his fellow revolutionaries were given amnesty and money and agreed to go into voluntary exile in Hong Kong. (Aguinaldo later used the money to purchase fi****ms.) Following Aguinaldo's return from exile in Hong Kong, Tecson defected from the Civil Guards and joined Aguinaldo's Republican Army as a captain.

Following the Cry of Nueva Ecija, he fought alongside General Manuel Tinio (especially in Nueva Ecija) and General Francisco Macabulos. He himself was eventually ranked brigadier general under del Pilar.

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
*****Battle of San Miguel*****

On May 24, 1898, Tecson launched attacks on the Spanish Civil Guard garrisons in San Miguel and San Rafael, Bulacan (collectively known as the Battle of San Miguel); which ended with the Spanish force's surrender on June 1, 1898.

Wartime politics:
In 1898, Tecson represented the province of Cagayan at the Malolos Congress (which drafted the Charter of the First Philippine Republic) a few months before the outbreak of the war with America.

He cast the deciding vote which addressed the constitutional provision of ''The separation of church and state".


------------------------------------
------------------------------------
*****Battle of Quingua*****

The Battle of Quingua was fought on April 23, 1899, in Quingua, Bulacan (now Plaridel), which resulted in a rout of the Filipinos by their former allies, the United States.

Career and politics following the war:
Tecson was elected governor general of Bulacan —The first accepted under American rule, serving from 1902–1906. In 1904, he was named as a delegate of the Philippine's Worlds Fair Commission. Tecson resigned from government service in 1906 and went into farming. He was one of the first to promote the silk culture industry in the Philippines.

He returned to government service in 1907, becoming the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture.

Philanthropy, legacy and death:
Tecson donated the land for the use of the Constabulary Station (Barangay Sibul Spring) in San Miguel. This was later named Camp Tecson. Tecson died in 1940 and is buried in San Miguel. At his death, he donated land for a public burial ground for Filipino patriots.

FOOTNOTES, DEDICATION:
"1902, a day in a nation's history" === Pablo Tecson:
Dedicated to my greatgranduncle that I never met:
Pablo Ocampo Tecson:

Every human life born within a nation has its own family, has its own circle of society. Each has its own people, has its own aspirations in life, has its own independence free from other foreign rulers. Each people when oppressed will unite as one to fight for it. Each nation has to respect ones own territory of the people as their sovereign land. To live life in their own land run by the ones whose nobility will rule a nation to its greatness.

Barasoain Church (also known as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish) is a Roman Catholic church built in 1630 in Malolos, Bulacan.

It is about 42 kilometers away from Manila. Having earned the title as the "Cradle of Democracy in the East", the most important religious building in the Philippines, and the site of the First Philippine Republic, the church is proverbial for its historical importance among Filipinos.

Founded by Augustinian Missionaries in 1859, the church is also renowned for its architectural design and internal adornments.The original church was burned during the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution, but was later renovated.

The church recorded some of the important events occurred in the country. While it has been a temporary residence of General Aguinaldo, three major events in Philippine History happened in this church:

1] The convening of the First Philippine Congress (September 15, 1898),

2] The drafting of the Malolos Constitution (September 29, 1898 to January 21, 1899),

3] And the inauguration of the First Philippine Republic (January 23, 1899).

By Presidential Decree No. 260, the church was proclaimed as a National Shrine by President Ferdinand Marcos on August 1, 1973. Unusual for newly elected presidents in the Philippines, the church has been a venue in many inaugural affairs. ***General Emilio Aguinaldo and former ***President Joseph Estrada were the only two who have been inaugurated in the place.

HISTORY:
Opening of the Malolos Congress in 1898
Barasoain was a barrio visit of Malolos until 1859, the year it separated from its matrix. Its titular patroness is Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. In 1866, it had 10,516 souls; its population decreased to 9,618 in 1896.

Construction of the Church: Fr. Francisco Arriola, appointed first parish on June 1, 1859, built the convent. A small Ermita, constructed by Fr. Melchor Fernandez in 1816 while he was parish priest of Malolos (1816-1840), served as temporary parish church. One of the existing bells bears the year 1870. It was installed by Fr. Emterio Ruperez. It was donated by the “principalia (sic) of Malolos.” And dedicated to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel of Barasoain. Fr. Francisco Royo replaced the temporary chapel with a hewn stone church built between 1871 and 1878. This was soon destroyed by fire. The only remnant of this church is one of its bells, installed by Fr. Royo on February 30, 1873 and dedicated to St. Francis Xavier.Fr. Juan Giron who succeeded him, used the chapel of the cemetery until this one, too, was destroyed by the earthquake of 1880. Fr. Giron then built temporary chapel of nipa and bamboo which was burned down in 1884, during the solemn celebrations of the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

In 1885, Fr. Giron hired the services of contractor by the name of Magpayo and started, a fundamentis, the construction of a massive church made of masonry and bricks. The church was completed under Fr. Giron’s supervision. Jorde does not specify the year of its completion; he says only that, “at the time it was completed the pockets of Fr. Giron were drained.” In 1889, Fr. Martin Arconada started the construction of the tower and the restoration of the convent. Three bells were installed in 1897. One of them is dedicated to St. Martin, Bishop, and was donated by Fr. Martin Arconada. In 1894, Fr. Miguel de Vera undertook another restoration of the convent.

Etymology:
The term "Barasoain" was derived from Barásoain in Navarre, Spain to which the missionaries found the place in Malolos in striking similarity. When the Spanish-Filipino revolution broke out, the Spanish authorities coined the term "baras ng suwail," which means "dungeon of the defiant" because the church was a meeting place for anti-Spanish and anti-colonial illustrados.

Beginnings:
Bell Tower of Barasoain Church,
Eight years after the founding of Manila, the Augustinian friars founded the Town of Malolos in 1580. A settlement was made by the Augustinian missionaries and they created Barrio Barasoain in 1630. A church made of nipa and bamboo was constructed near the river between Maluslos (Malolos poblacion) and Barasoain. In that same year, Malolos Friar Curate and Vicario Foraneo Fray Agustin Carreno, OSA established the first chapel at the old Ermita of the old Cemetery of Malolos. Abandoned in 1680, it served as the temporary visita of Barasoain, located in front of the Casa Tribunal (Presidencia), which is now commonly called "Casa Real de Malolos." A big fire in the 17th century destroyed the new church.

Another church building was commissioned and constructed on a new site, its present location,corner of Paseo del Congreso and Antonio Bautista streets. Under the supervision of Rev. Fr. Francisco Royo, O.S.A., the new church was built, made of light materials. In 1884, during the celebration of the Flores de Mayo (Nuestra Señora del Carmen), Patroness of the Parish, the temporary church was burned.

From 1630 to 1859, priests serving in Barasoain were from the nearby church, the mother church of the town - Parroquia dela Inmaculada Concepcion of Malolos. Since the formal establishment of Barasoain as an independent parish to Malolos Church in 1859, several priests were assigned by the Augustinian Order, and later by the Archdiocese of Manila and Diocese of Malolos.
