Malolos Cathedral, also known as the '''Basilica Minore dela Inmaculada Concepcion''', is the eccelesiastical seat of the Diocese of Malolos. The Cathedral was also the seat of power of the President of the First Philippine Republic, Emilio Aguinaldo . When the Philippine-American War erupted in 1899 , President Aguinaldo moved the capital from Malolos to San Fernando in Pampanga. The Cathedral was burned to delay the pursuing Americans. The Cathedral was rebuilt and, later, became the seat of the Bishop of Malolos. Near the Cathedral is the equally important Barasoain Church , where the First Philippine Congress held sessions and drafted the 1898 Malolos Constitution.
