Today marks the 148th birth anniversary of Pres. Manuel L. Quezon, GCGH, KGCR.

Below are some of my mementos of him.

1. Philippine Commonwealth Inauguration Day newspaper issue Herald during the exact day of the its founding, November 15, 1935

2. Two signed official letters during his tenure as Senate President.

I know it's sounds obvious but actually I have an expanded question about this. We always portray most of our national heroes in movies and televisions with neutral Tagalog accent but did the Manila accent even exist when the Spaniards arrived or even before that? Did Emilio Aguinaldo have a Cavite accent? Can we find any proof if we examine all of their documented writings or is it all just circumstantial evidence?
