mariel: President Quezon was a short man, and the beds in the house are short too!
Manuel L. Quezon was the president of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944, a period that included the war years. He is also noted for opening the doors of the country to Jewish refugees.President Quezon’s house in San Juan was restored and relocated to the Quezon Memorial Circle. Though small, there’s still an official tour of the house by a nice lady working for the city government. We were only able to tour the ground floor of the house, though, as the Vice Mayor was being interviewed for a TV show on the second floor at that time. So, every time we pass by the Q.C. circle, Little T reminds me that we should go back to the house to check out the second floor. We really should!
