Originally built in the 17th century, Casa Hacienda de Tejeros was considered the Augustinian Recollects' largest and grandest estate in the Philippines. The hacienda covered 1,125 hectares of arable land, the casa occupying 4 hectares. Tejeros comes from the Spanish word tejer, which means "to weave", after the weaving industry brought about by Rosario's major crops, abaca and cotton.
While the new building today pales in comparison to the adobe casa it used to have, visitors can still see ruins of the old casa behind the new building. Descending into the ruins, you'd discover tunnel entrances already blocked with vine and weeds; one tunnel leads to Tejero River, and the other to Emilio Aguinaldo's house in Kawit, Cavite.
In 1897, Casa Hacienda de Tejeros bore a landmark event in Philippine history. Known as the Tejeros Convention, the assembly gave birth to the newly elected leaders of the revolutionary government. Among the elected officials were Emilio Aguinaldo (President), Mariano Trias (Vice President), Artemio Ricarte (Captain General), Emiliano Riego de Dios (Director of War), and Andres Bonifacio (Director of Interior).
