DEATH ANNIVERSARIES OF TWO FORMER PHILIPPINE PRESIDENTS



August 1, 2010

Today is the first death anniversary of President Cory Aquino and the nation celebrates it with lots of memorials and activities. It is also the 66th death anniversary of President Manuel Luis Quezon, first Philippine Commonwealth President and instigator of the movement to locate the national capital from Manila to a new place now known as Quezon City.

I attended the Memorial Mass for President Quezon at his memorial in the Quezon Circle. We also proceeded to his tomb and that of his wife Aurora for a blessing. The Mayor and Vice Mayor was there.

It is one of the events that I was invited to attend as National Historical Commission Director.

Lots of butterflies at the park this sunny Sunday morning.
