He attended and spoke amusingly at our wedding, alluding to his baldness. December 1988. Some time after we had dinner with him at Kamayan on EDSA. As I recall, he'd been head of the National Food Administration. He also told an amusing anecdote about paying the bill at (this?) restaraunt and being asked for his hand-print - he went apoplectic about this insult to his credit-worthiness only for it to transpire after much argument that that they'd recognised him as a "celeb" and wanted to take a US Hall-Of-Fame type print of his hand

Grandson Bernado was a favourite, he was partial to the boys in the family. 70% of her wealth went to Senen Gabaldon and 30% was to go to Teresa.
Because Teresa died ahead of her mother, Bernado and Zeneida (Ta) inherited the balance of 30% which was divided again on a 70:30 ration in favour of Benardo.

AURORA ARAGON QUEZON
(1888-1949)
The First Lady of the Commonwealth, Mrs. Aurora Aragon Quezon was a woman of rare personal charm and simple elegance, possessed of a kind heart and sympathetic understanding that endeared her to the Filipino people.
Aurora was the youngest and the prettiest of the eight children of Pedro Aragon and Zenaida Molina, born in Baler, Tayabas (now Quezon) on February 19, 1888.
At the age of four her aunt, Maria Molina, mother of President Quezon, tutored her. Later, she entered a school of the Franciscan Friars at the convent of Baler, after she had been taught by Emilia, her eldest sister.
The outbreak of the Philippine Revolution interrupted her schooling and also brought much suffering to the Aragon Family, for her father was arrested [in 1896?] and taken to [Fort Santiago, Intramuros] Manila where he died in prison [another account says he was released but died shortly after of TB], property was confiscated by the Spanish government.
At the age of ten, Aurora had to pitch in with heavy work. She pounded rice, ran errands, fetched water in earthen jars, washed clothes regularly, helped cultivate the home garden and plant rice during planting season. Quezon’s mother took her under her wings. As a consequence, she became the favorite of Manuel’s father. Living in the same roof, Manuel and his first cousin shared a joyful company. When the Aragon family moved to Lucena, Quezon was then the provincial fiscal of Tayabas. Aurora’s dream was modest, to be a public school teacher. Quezon subsidized her study at the [American] Philippine Normal School in Manila. She was a bright student and popular with her schoolmates. She was fond of the graceful Carińosa dance. Ill health weighed on her, and she discontinued her studies after two years. By reading assiduously good books since I left school, I have learned to write correctly and speak fluently,” she remarke
She formed the Baler Reading circle and Library, she sharing her meager collection. This collection became part of the Malacańang Library. When Quezon became an assemblyman, she often came to Manila at his invitation, accompanied by her relatives. Returning one evening from a formal dinner, he dropped in at her residence. 'Why are you wearing orange blossoms?' she asked. Quezon piqued that she had suitors present, airily replied. 'Oh I’ve just gotten married ' She suddenly burst into tears in front of everyone. Quezon was properly apologetic. In December 1918, Senate President Quezon headed the first independence mission to the United States. She joined the delegation. [To everyone's suprrise, ] They were married in a civil ceremony in Hongkong on December 14, 1918; the Catholic religious rite was held on December 17. [The church ceremony waqs not free of trouble; the bishop of Hong Kong, to whom the couple presented themselves, objected for their being first cousins. A quick telegram to the archbishop of Manial settled the matter.]
Four children were born: Maria Aurora, Zenaida, Luisa Corazon Paz and Manuel Jr.
Before they resided in Malacańang Palace, the Quezons lived in Pasay. Their house was furnished tastefully and comfortably with antique and modern pieces of furniture. She fancied rare Philippine orchids and collected dolls dressed in foreign costumes.
She was a devoted wife and strict but understanding mother.
She was an enthusiasm patron of art and culture. She sang well and played the piano. She composed several musical pieces in Baler. She had been the strongest single influence in the successful launching of the Philippine Culture Tour of the Far East.
She helped found the Asociacion de Damas Filipinas for unwed mothers and orphaned children (the institution still exists (2002). She visited private and public hospital where she would talk with the patients. She served as honorary president of the White Cross, which aimed to maintain and promote the moral, mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing of the laborers and their children. She was instrumental in the organization of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines. She actively supported women's suffrage (women go the vote in 1937)..
[When the bicameral legistlature was formed in 1916 to replace the Philippine Assembly, Manuel became president of the senate. In 1935, the Commonwealth, a transition government of 10 years to prepare the Filipinos for independence, was formed and Manuel L. Quezon became its first Prsident. He moved his family to Malacanang and lived there for 6 years.
In 1939, Manuel bought a farm around Mt. Arayat, Pampanga province. She put up a small hosipital for the tenants and their families. She loved teh farm and spent a few days there every week and was there with children Maria Aurora and Manuel Jr. when war broke out Dec 8, 1941. They had a Japanes expert teaching the tenants how to grow rami fibre and he turned out to be "somebody in the Japanese army" her daughter Nini recalls. "He said goodbye to my mother ... in his uniform and really thanked her for the good relations that they had .. She was crying because she thought it so sad that we should be at war with each other".
President Quirino and child Nini were in the summer capital of Baguio on same day, recuperating from a TB attack. This was his second attack since becoming President, the first was in Dec 1940. American officials evacuated Manuel and Nini from their vaction cottage to an American officer's home when Japanese warplanes attacked John Hay AIr ABse. That evening they left Baguio and met with Aurora, Maria Aurora and Manuel Jr. in Pampanga before heading to their farm in Marikina, Quezon City where and air raid shelter had been built. There the family stayed until its evacuation to Corrigidor fortress. On Dec 24 1941, the Quezons returned to Malacanang for teh last time as teh coutnry's First Family to retrieve personal belongings and documents.]
The Quezon family was evacuated to the United States before the Fall of Bataan [on February 18, 1942 on the US Navy submarine Swordfish for San Jose, Antique, where a US general met them and took them and companions to Iloilo. After a week they headed by sea for NEgros, from there by oatrol boat for Oroquieta, Misamis Oriental, northern Mindanao and tehn fro the Del Monte planation in Bukidnon. This was to raise soldier's morale. With defeat almos certain, the Americans informed them that they were going to Australia - where the went by US bomber planes on March 21, 1942. Receiving invitation to form his administration in the US, the family left Melbourne for San Francisco in April 1942 on the troopship, President Coolidge. They went to Washington by train and were met by President Frankin D. Roosevelt at the station.]
She volunteered to be a worker in the blood donors service of the America Red Cross. She took care of her husband whose delicate health was rapidly worsening.
[His health worsening, President Quezon was transferred to Lake Saranac in New York where he died of TB August, 1944.]
Upon her return to the Philippines in 1946, [August 1949 in another account] she helped in whatever way she could in the rehabilitation and reconstruction effort. She donated her monthly pension of one thousand pesos to the special fund for the sick and disabled veterans, war widows and orphans. She became the first Chairman of the Philippine National Red Cross after working for its recognition as an independent entity on March 29,1947. She was also chosen senior honorary vice president of the Philippine Tuberculosis Society and senior member of its board of directors.
The Marygrove College of Detroit, Michigan conferred on her, honoris causa, the highest collegiate distinction. She was also conferred the Doctor of Human Service, honoris causa, by the Philippine Women’s University during its porcelain jubilee.
She was named “The Real Catholic Filipina” and “The Mother of the Masses.”
On April 28, 1949, Aurora, together with her daughter, Baby Maria Aurora and party, were ambushed by dissidents in Bongabon, Nueva Acija, while on their way to Baler, Quezon to inaugurate a marker in honor of her husband. The assassination was not meant for her, but for some government officials. She, her daughter Baby, and Nini's husband Phil Buencamino and nine companions died. 15 survived.
Aurora Quezon Elementary School in San Andres, Maynila was named after her. But more meaningful, there is now the sub-province of Aurora.

Doña Aurora Quezon’s Baler home rebuilt
By Augusto Villalon
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 18:53:00 08/23/2009
BALER, a remote coastal town in Tayabas (now Aurora) province, was home to both Manuel and Aurora Quezon.
However, the higher the political career of Manuel rose, the farther it took them from the tranquil seaside town, a separation that grew farther and farther, culminating with President Quezon’s death in distant Saranac Lake in New York during World War II.
Despite infrequent hometown visits, in their hearts and minds they never left Baler since both were deeply rooted there.
The original owner of Doña Aurora’s house was Zeneida Molina, who married Pedro Aragon. No records exist for the birth date of Maria, their oldest daughter, but documents exist showing that their second daughter, Emilia, was born in the house in April 1877, verifying the existence of the house at least to that date.
Aurora, their youngest daughter, was born in the same house on Feb. 19, 1888.
When the Spaniards burned the town in the twilight of the Philippine Revolution, Aurora was forced to take refuge in the church during the Siege of Baler. She was about 9 years old then.
After the 1900 siege, the burned Aragon house across the church was reconstructed along with many other houses.
Standing on an average-sized corner lot, it is a modest wooden house covered with twin peaked nipa roofs. Although no grand bahay-na-bato in any way, the house is built in traditional Filipino style. Its single story raised from the ground on stilts provided a shaded, ground-level open area connecting to the garden.
Even more traditional are the house’s awning windows, hinged to the top window frames that open outward, held in place by wooden poles.
The Aragon family lived with their four daughters in unassuming second-floor quarters that centered around a living room and small kitchen, with sleeping areas off to the side.
The young Aurora sectioned off part of the house for use as a library and reading center to provide reading material to augment what was available at the local schools.
So popular was her reading center with Baler folk that they requested her to keep it open for long hours, mainly, as local folklore went, so that the men of Baler could ogle the pretty Aurora.
A series of remodelings during the long intervening years diminished the character of the modest house, until the recent rebuilding of Doña Aurora’s unpretentious Baler home under the auspices of Senator Edgardo Angara, Mayor Antonio Angara and the National Historical Institute.
Original
Based on archival documents and old photographs that brought out what were the original details of the house, the rebuilt version keeps as closely to the original as possible.
The living quarters have been returned to its original look, with polished hardwood floors and walls. Furniture formerly in the house have been returned by family members from their own homes.
Doña Aurora’s memorabilia associated with her life in that house have been returned and put on public view.
However, there are a few changes now, although none that alter the character of the house.
The open silong was paved to provide a large meeting area for the Baler community; the garden re-landscaped to accommodate an overflow of people should functions be held there.
Once a reading center serving the community, the house is again seen as the focus for Baler cultural life, providing another venue to augment activities of the Baler Museum, which has an excellent exhibit on Baler history and lifestyle.
To understand Quezon’s Baler, a visit is the essential eye-opener.
On the other hand, an armchair visit is also possible through the award-winning book “Baler, Aurora,” published by READ Foundation spearheaded by Sen. Angara.
The book brings together essays by noted scholars and writers Jesus Peralta, Domingo Madulid, José Maria Cariño, Xavier Brisset, Enrique Quezon Avanceña, Manuel L Quezon III and Ricardo José, on aspects of Baler, its history and its lifestyle, especially the fascinating account of the Siege of Baler where Spanish soldiers occupied the church, remaining there well after the end of the Philippine Revolution.
The handsome, lavishly illustrated book, available at major bookstores, is an essential addition to any Filipinana library and key to understanding the Baler lifestyle and appreciating how it grounded the lives of Manuel and Aurora Quezon.

History of Baler
The town of Baler was founded in 1609. Its original name was Kinagunasan and its first inhabitants were the Angara, Bitong, Carrasco and Lumasac families.
In December 1735, a tidal wave struck and completely engulfed Kinagunasan. The wave struck the town without warning at 2 a.m., and within an hour the entire town was gone. The parish priest of Casiguran, who was then visiting Baler, managed to survive by swimming to the hill of Point Baja. Other survivors included the families of Angara and Bitong. The sudden onslaught of the wave and the fact that the nearby towns of Casiguran, Dipaculao and Dingalan were left untouched has turned the catastrophe into a folk legend of biblical proportions.
A giant tidal wave submerged the town in water on December 27, 1735. Only four families survived -- Angara, Bitong, Lumasak and Bihasa. They moved to higher ground and founded the current town of Baler.
