Mabini Historical Marker: A Tribute to a Filipino Hero
Visit the Mabini Historical Marker in Guam, honoring a Filipino hero and a shared history of resilience and the fight for independence.
Nestled in Maina, Guam, the Mabini Historical Marker is a tribute to Apolinario Mabini, revered as the "brain of the revolution" and the first Prime Minister of the Philippines. Mabini, despite being physically disabled by polio, played a crucial role in the fight for Philippine independence. The marker stands at Asan Point, where Mabini was exiled in 1901 along with other Filipino nationalists who resisted American colonial rule. The U.S. Naval Government established a prison camp at Asan Point to house Mabini and his fellow exiles. The site serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom and independence, connecting Guam and the Philippines through their shared history. Visiting the Mabini Historical Marker offers a peaceful experience, allowing visitors to contemplate the rich history and cultural landscape of Guam. The marker itself is a representation of Filipino spirit and resilience.
