155. Preserving the Legacy of Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon

Manuel L. Quezon, the second president of the Philippines, played a crucial role in the country's history and development. His contributions to Philippine independence and democracy are still celebrated and remembered today through various memorabilia and artifacts. Some notable items include:

1. The Ex-Libris of Aurora Quezon, which is a bookplate design created for the first lady of the Philippines during Quezon's presidency.

2. A photograph of Manuel L. Quezon, serving as a reminder of his legacy.

3. A profile of Manuel L. Quezon and the MalacaƱang Palace with a background map of the Philippines, presented on a postcard. This provides a glimpse into the life and times of Quezon and the importance of the Philippine presidency.

4. The Commonwealth of the Philippines inauguration postcard, which celebrates the establishment of the Philippines as a self-governing commonwealth in 1935.

5. A letter from Manuel L. Quezon to Rev. Eulogio Peleho, showcasing his dedication to his country and the Catholic Church.

6. The Inauguration of the Commonwealth of the Philippines Ticket on November 15, 1935, which was used to gain admittance to the historic event.


This day has come into my hands the obituary notice of Dr. Angel Pastrana and Cancela, which was delivered to the post office on April 6, that is on the same day that the corpse was to be buried.
I sincerely regret not to receive on time this obituary notice because if I knew what happened I had attended the funeral. I hope this letter serves not only as an apology but also as the most sincere expression of my deepest condolences to you, and also to the mother, brothers, and sister-in-law of the deceased. I'll be very grateful if you tell them.
