dignitaries both foreign and local have dropped by this house to attend a
ceremony or to be hosted for a while as house guests. Among these eminent
personalities were Leonard Wood who was Governor-General of the Philippines
from 1921-1927, former Philippine Presidents Manuel L. Quezon, Jose P. Laurel,
Manuel A. Roxas and Elpidio Quirino.
In its declaration of Casa Narvas as

social balls, it stands as testimony to the cultural and political life of
Boac, Marinduque”. It also cited that
“the house is distinct for its historical and artistic values and today is an
example of architecture from the early years of the twentieth century in Boac,
Marinduque”. Owned by Sonia Narvas Quiason.

Puente de Boac is a single arched masonry bridge that spans
one of the numerous tributaries of the Boac river. The bridge has been modified
during the 1930’s, resulting in its road deck, particularly its supporting
parapet wall, being finished in a row of concrete balusters. Only upon close
inspection of the bridge can its Spanish period origin be evidently seen. (Source: Puentes de Espana en las
