Ang Estetika, Politika, at Ideolohiyang Pilipino sa Arkitekturang Filipino: Ang Kaso ng Ilang Antigong Bahay sa Malolos, Bulacan.

Currently, most studies on Filipino Architecture concentrate solely on the history and aesthetics of its structures. Apart from their historical significance, these structures can also serve as a window into the political and cultural ideologies of a region or a nation. In this sense, the researchers hope to examine how Filipino Architecture, particularly Malolos Architecture, symbolizes our Filipino identity. The paper begins by analyzing three heritage houses that are included in the Malolos Historic Town Center, and then examines the Filipino aesthetics, politics, and ideology that these heritage houses embody. Using the framework for studying Filipino Architecture developed by Edson Roy Cabalfin, as well as selected ideas of Gerard Lico, this paper is divided into three sections: (a) a discussion on Malolos Architecture as a monument of Filipino aesthetic, (b) a discourse on Malolos Architecture as a political symbol, and (c) a discussion on Malolos Architecture as a reflection of the ideologies of Filipino society.
