They were in full regalia. During my school-age years, my parents would regularly bring me to Rizal Park, Fort Santiago in Intramuros and the Rizal Ancestral House in Calamba (now a city), Laguna giving me my ABCs on the life, works and legacy of JPR. I also learned that JPR was an alumnus of two of my former schools; at the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and the University of Santo Tomas (UST).
