Being aware of our past gives us an edge in learning from the mistakes of our forefathers. Thus, letting us all take good action and implement right decisions. A more sense of patrotism and knowing how to value our heritage and culture.

Very few people give interest to this very intriguing subject matter, history. To many, it's boring and not interesting but little did they know that there are parts of our history that are interesting enough to know.


Just recently, while the heaven is pouring light rains unto the grounds of Quezon City, I was able to attend a bloggers conference in ABS CBN building. A blogcon about history and one of the early presidents of our country, the Philippines. The bust picture that you see in the Php20 bill.

Raymond Bagatsing, with a little tweak on the hair and little bit of 1900s all white suit makes him the best actor to portray Manuel L. Quezon. During the conference Bagatsing admitted that he was not in his good condition when he audition for the role. Coming from a taping with no sleep at all. Well, in fact he doesn't know that it was an audition but he managed to convince one of the producers that gave him the 90% chance of getting the role. There were plenty of good actors who auditioned according to him but his stand and his way of presenting himself finally gave way to the look-a-like of Manuel L. Quezon.
