The house where Mabini died is now located in the campus of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The simple nipa retains the original furniture, and some of the books he wrote, and also contains souvenir items, while hosting the municipal library and reading facilities, hence, the main campus is named after Mabini. Some campuses are located in the other side of the metropolis and the rest are located all over the country.
