Birthplace of Fr. Jose Burgos

The Padre Burgos House, built in 1788, is a historic house in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. It was the residence of the Filipino Catholic priest Jose Burgos (1837–1872), a leader of the secularization movement, referring to the full incorporation of Filipino priests into the Catholic hierarchy in the Philippines, which was dominated by Spanish friars in the past. Alongside two other Filipino priests, Mariano Gomez and Jacinto Zamora, Burgos was arrested on false charges of sedition and incitement of the Cavite mutiny and executed in 1872.
