English: Imus Town Public Plaza - Gen. Licerio Topacio Park [1] Coordinates: 14°25'47"N 120°56'11"E ---- Licerio Topacio[2] (1839–1925) was a leader in the Philippine Independence movement. Born in Imus, Cavite, on August 27, 1839 to Miguel Topacio, a former gobernadorcillo, and Marta Cuenco, the young Licerio finished his studies in Imus. He was not able to pursue higher education in Manila. But he kept on developing his inborn talent by self-study, and when the Revolution broke out he showed exceptional leadership in battle. After the Philippine-American War Topacio was twice appointed as municipal president of Imus. He died on April 19, 1925 at the age of 86.[3] Gen. Licerio Topacio Park [4] [5] L.

From Bulacan I took photo of Imus Cathedral and Imus Cavite starting 1:39 p.m. Caught in the rain, I did beg the Imus Cathedral in-charge to open all the Lights and he did upon Order from the Parish Office. I am so fortunate that only 2 or 3 people were inside, and nothing to block my photos; unfortunate, however, is the rain that tormented my photos but my Nikon sensor fought and I am sharing Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia these rare, original and sole photos of Imus, Cavite, 98% never photographed since the Battle of Imus. I finished photography at 4:18 p.m. and started uploading via slow internet at 7:54 pm - I hereby certify that these photos are exclusive for Commons and Wikipedia never uploaded in any Internet or any site, and for the public domain without any condition.]
